Package install fail post fresh-install

George9000 commented 8 years ago

Emacs 25.1.50.1 spacemacs-0.105.14 OSX 10.11.3 Launching Emacs with: open -a /Applications/Emacs.app --args --debug-init --insecure

After a new install by removing the ~/.emacs.d directory, attempting to add a single layer, org, gives this error. Similar error after checking out version 0.105.13. Any new layer install fails similarly.

It's hard to tell what's wrong. First of all - how have you installed your emacs? If via brew, please share full command. Also make sure that it's up to date with latest git head.

I had a working copy of spacemacs, but an earlier version, on the same Emacs build. The trouble started when I upgraded to spacemacs 0.105.14. Initially I figured it was some elpa issue, but even after the --insecure flag and even commenting out elpa.gnu.org in the core config, nothing changed. And now, even rolling back a version doesn't solve the issue. Very puzzling.

Emacs build

brew install git
brew install autoconf
brew install autogen
brew install automake

brew install libtiff
brew install libjpeg
brew install --universal libpng
brew install giflib

sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/include/libxml2/libxml/ /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/include/libxml

git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs.git

./autogen.sh
./configure --with-ns CFLAGS="-g -O0"   # thats a zero after the capital O
make bootstrap
make install

# from emacs build directory 
cd nextstep/
cp -R ./Emacs.app /Applications/

Issue #4385 raised a similar problem. I took the suggested fix.

In the .spacemacs file, under the section dotspacemacs/init, set this variable to nil: dotspacemacs-elpa-https nil Despite having launched Emacs with the --insecure flag, I continued seeing errors with packages until this variable was set to nil.

Either the recurrent issues with elpa https should be fixed or, perhaps, the default for this variable in a new .spacemacs file should be nil.
