Unable to install emacs-zmq (LinuxMint 20.2)

jmpetit commented 2 years ago

I need to have emacs-zmq for running emacs-jupyter. I installed zmq with M_x package-install RET zmq RET, which went fine. Then M-: (require 'zmq) fails with:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument sequencep t) byte-code("\010\205\016\0\301\302\010P\303\304\305!!\"\207" [module-file-suffix expand-file-name "emacs-zmq" file-name-directory locate-library "zmq"] 5) (defconst zmq-module-file (byte-code "\010\205\016\0\301\302\010P\303\304\305!!\"\207" [module-file-suffix expand-file-name "emacs-zmq" file-name-directory locate-library "zmq"] 5) ("/home/petit/.emacs.d/elpa/zmq-20220510.1820/zmq.elc" . 599)) require(zmq) eval((require (quote zmq)) nil) eval-expression((require (quote zmq)) nil nil 127) funcall-interactively(eval-expression (require (quote zmq)) nil nil 127) call-interactively(eval-expression nil nil) command-execute(eval-expression)

I then realize that module zmq is not installed (I've installed libzmq5, but seems to not be the correct version). So I went into zmq-20220510_1820, and tried to compile the module. After failing miserably yesterday, it worked today, with the same branch of zmq, and it worked fine today.

Anyhow, I tried again to start zmq in emacs, and still got the very same error message:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument sequencep t) byte-code("\010\205\016\0\301\302\010P\303\304\305!!\"\207" [module-file-suffix expand-file-name "emacs-zmq" file-name-directory locate-library "zmq"] 5) (defconst zmq-module-file (byte-code "\010\205\016\0\301\302\010P\303\304\305!!\"\207" [module-file-suffix expand-file-name "emacs-zmq" file-name-directory locate-library "zmq"] 5) ("/home/petit/.emacs.d/elpa/zmq-20220510.1820/zmq.elc" . 599)) require(zmq) eval((require (quote zmq)) nil) eval-expression((require (quote zmq)) nil nil 127) funcall-interactively(eval-expression (require (quote zmq)) nil nil 127) call-interactively(eval-expression nil nil) command-execute(eval-expression)

Any idea what is going on ? This is very limiting as I'd really like to use Jupyter for Python and Julia in Org-mode.

Many thanks, Jean-Marc Petit

Have you handeled the issue?

jmpetit commented 1 year ago

Hi, thanks for asking. Since I got no response from anybody, I abandoned the idea of using Jupyter in Org-mode. I was already able to have python and ipython running with org-mode to have kind of notebooks and literal programming. I now managed to install emacs-vterm, after recompiling emacs to support modules, and I install julia-mode, julia-vterm and ob-julia-vterm. Now I can also run blocks of Julia code from within Org-mode, and that's all I wanted. As a bonus, I also have a working Julia REPL i can access from Emacs and Org-mode.

Short answer: no I didn't handled the issue. I quit. Best, Jean-Marc

If you still want to give emacs-jupyter a shot, I've made some changes to emacs-zmq which may have fixed your problem. What I can gather from the backtrace is that it has something to do with zmq-module-file, that variable is no longer used so you may get different results if you try again.

ipython is better than jupyter, I also get stuck to install zmq from ubuntu.

weavermarquez commented 1 year ago

Thank you @nnicandro for your efforts on this library. This post is just to add information for people potentially dealing with similar issues. I hope this helps.

I'd really like to use emacs-jupyter but sadly I am just so confused on why I can't get this installed. I'm running Fedora Silverblue 37 with Toolbox (Fedora 37), and it ain't workin. Doesn't seem worth making a new issue, though.

Fedora: Can't compile emacs-zmq

Fedora Toolbox make cannot compile ZMQ module. The compilation consistently skips over any installed instance of zmq (e.g. sudo dnf install zeromq-devel) and tries to build zmq.

example: make in Toolbox (Fedora 37) on cloned git repo As a hunch, I'm guessing a good hint are these lines at the bottom: checking whether the C compiler works... no configure: error: ./configure failed for libzmq

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

No segfault on Ubuntu Distrobox, but can't build?

I tried using Ubuntu on Distrobox to build this repo. After installing a bunch of packages, running make twice results in two different error messages? (same results before/after doom sync, too)

Not clue what's going on here, but might be useful to someone looking in the future.

good news(?)

I tried running Ubuntu Distrobox M-x jupyter-connect-server-repl in emacs, no binaries pre-downloaded (except sudo apt install libzmq3-dev). It didn't prompt me for the two questions, but went directly to prompting the server and such. So, that's some progress?

Great news! Progress made -- I can use make to build emacs-zmq. This is urgently helpful information. I need to follow up once I can actually test if it works in my emacs, though.

IMPORTANT: most pre-built sources are non-DRAFT packages!

Note: This is only an issue if your "supported distros" is not a primary ci platform... which unfortunately means every Unix system may have issues.

This issue affects:

To ensure a compatible libzmq binary:

install libzmq libzmq-devel (or similarly named equivalent) from the appropriate locations.
- RPMs and DEBs here, or
- from ZeroMQ's website:
- git recent draft (preferred!)
- stable with draft (currently broken for many distros, see below)
nm -D --defined-only /usr/lib64/libzmq.so | grep zmq_poller_new in your terminal must return a non-empty result.
- zmq_poller_new is a DRAFT API function. emacs-zmq runs a compatibility test searching for this function on src/configure.ac
call export ZMQ_LIBS=/usr/lib64/libzmq.so in terminal before using make as described by emacs-zmq's README.
- You also do not need to call export ZMQ_CFLAGS -- this is only for compiling libzmq (i think).

Note: Stable Releases are Broken

stable with draft is broken for: Fedora, xUbuntu, openSUSE, SLE, and Debian.

Examples:

⬢[weaver@toolbox emacs-zmq]$ ls /usr/lib64/libzmq*
/usr/lib64/libzmq.a  /usr/lib64/libzmq.so  /usr/lib64/libzmq.so.5  /usr/lib64/libzmq.so.5.2.5

⬢[weaver@toolbox emacs-zmq]$ nm -D --defined-only /usr/lib64/libzmq.so | grep zmq_poller_new
000000000006cfc0 T zmq_poller_new

On MacOS I was able to build the library by making the following small change to the Makefile

@@ -24,7 +25,7 @@ all: $(EZMQ_LIBDIR)/$(EZMQ_MODULE) compile

 .PHONY: configure
 configure: src/configure

The MODULE_EXT variable wasn't being passed to the submodule and caused the build to fail.
