After this it works:

cadmium# cd /usr/lib && cp libz.so.7.0 libz.so.1

[tony-o]

added libz:from<native> to the meta, will release with v52

[tony-o]

This is fixed in v52 (disabled until Raku AST), please upgrade and confirm

[andinus]

Hello, thanks for the fix. I was waiting for the release, I'll clone, test and get back in a while.

[andinus]

Hello, I installed the latest main but faced the same issue. You have mentioned Raku AST, do I have to install another version of Rakudo to test this? I'm currently running v2023.02.

[tony-o]

Hello, I installed the latest main but faced the same issue. You have mentioned Raku AST, do I have to install another version of Rakudo to test this? I'm currently running v2023.02.

you shouldn't have to install newer rakudo. can you post the log of your fez upgrade?

[tony-o]

@andinus you're right, the bit that fixes this wasn't merged and didn't make it into 52, i've just uploaded a fix that should resolve this problem

[andinus]

I upgraded to fez v53, it seems to be failing without the symlink, here are the logs:

@andinus fez requires zlib-dev or your OS' equivalent, that should fix the issue you're seeing. i don't have a lot of control over the name/path of the file that is resolved when i do is native('z') in raku

[andinus]

I see, I do have the shared object file but it's named libz.so.7.0. According to https://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/specialtopics.html#SharedLibs that seems like expected behavior. It seems like Raku docs have details on this issue: https://docs.raku.org/language/faq#Nativecall_can't_find_libfoo.so_and_I_only_have_libfoo.so.1.2!

Does creating a symlink seem like a better solution?

[patrickbkr]

I think this is a fundamental issue about a theory vs reality mismatch.

In theory when using a library I'll always want to depend on a specific major version, as a wrong major version will potentially be incompatible with my software. So there should never be a is native('foo');, but instead always a is native('foo',v1); in released Raku modules.

I suspect in practice major versions of libraries often change without breaking the public API in such a way that the Raku module breaks. I haven't seen a single Raku module that depended on a specific major version. And I have not yet heard of a case where a Raku module became incompatible after a release of a new major version of a library.

Ideas:

• Make is native('foo'); just pick the latest version there is. (This could be messy, as currently the resolution to a specific library file is not done by us.)
• Allow specifying ranges and lists of versions to try. Something like: is native('foo',(v4, v2, v1)); or is native('foo',v3..v1);
• Add a warning to the fez linter to check vor version-less is native('foo');

[tony-o]

@andinus i wonder if bundling libz so's would be a fix for this too, afaik it only requires building for ARM and x64 at the moment

[andinus]

I think that should do the trick. Also, I don't understand but this might be related to the changes made for this fix: https://github.com/tony-o/raku-fez/issues/103

[andinus]

Is there a way to specify vX+? like we have for raku modules ("Cairo:ver<0.2.7+>").

[tony-o]

The real fix here could just be writing a gzipper in pure raku and putting it in the repo, I just haven't had time to get one working/tested.

[tony-o]

this fix is also part of #103
