Error compiling with pip install? error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

[chinitadelrey]

Hi -- anyone here can please help me make some sense of how I should be fixing this issue? The key lines seem to be -- error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 plyvel/_plyvel.cpp:547:10: fatal error: 'leveldb/db.h' file not found I have tried conda install gcc as well. thank you!

With pip, python3 (anaconda):

pip install plyvel

You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 10.0.1 is available.

[wbolster]

no leveldb installed on your system

[wbolster]

it seems you are on osx. try "brew install leveldb"

[chinitadelrey]

hi @wbolster, thank you!! so I ran "brew install leveldb" but still received errors at the gcc level. what do you make of the following?

python 3:

    gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-stdlib=libc++’
    error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I've updated conda install gcc as mentioned earlier.

[wbolster]

hmmm. something weird with your compiler setup. g++ or other c++ packages not installed? i am not really familiar with osx. this issue is very likely not plyvel related, so perhaps you can find answers/help elsewhere on the web since it seems this would manifest when compiling a lot of software, not just plyvel.

[wbolster]

btw on osx i think you should try to use clang, not gcc:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34654682/unrecognized-command-line-option-stdlib-libc-gcc-homebrew-gcc-5-3-0-5-3-0

[wbolster]

alternatively, try to remove the flag from setup.py: https://github.com/wbolster/plyvel/blob/8a272611bef4a05c1349b24019cf8b843c6e8ce1/setup.py#L19

[wbolster]

@MaximusIndus your error is not about plyvel at all. also, this issue is closed

[Bluscream]

I do have the same error: https://github.com/kdrag0n/pyrobud/issues/6

blu@minopia:~/bots/telegram/pyrobud $ sudo apt install leveldb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package leveldb

even after doing sudo apt install libleveldb1d python3-leveldb still the same error :c

[wbolster]

you didn't install development headers. see docs

also, this issue is closed.

[Bluscream]

so i was able to get it running with sudo apt install libleveldb1d libleveldb-dev python3-leveldb but i think it's not really clear from the error what's wrong. And someone installing this through a third party python app might not immediatly run over to the plyvel docs so it is very much of use for you to insert a check or a notice for that. Otherwise people with this problem will keep appearing.

also, this issue is closed.

Opening a new issue when there's a existing closed issue is generally considered spam or would lead to a duplicate label. If you really prefer people opening a new issue for questions about known problems you should probably add a issue template and add that info into it to avoid confusion.

[wbolster]

did you read https://plyvel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html?

pull requests to improve the wording are welcome

[Bluscream]

So you would expect a user of some other python app (In this example https://github.com/kdrag0n/pyrobud) to read the docs of all it's dependencies? :thinking:

[wbolster]

no, actually i would expect the user of some other python app to use that app's bug tracker to report installation errors instead of making that the problem of their pretty well-documented dependencies :thinking: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

[Bluscream]

use that app's bug tracker to report installation errors

Look at comment 553280317. Also i think most apps using a lib would just redirect a user having issues with installing that lib to the lib's bugtracker.

[wbolster]

so you figured out it was related to leveldb. you then figured out its python bindings (plyvel, this project) couldn't be installed. that means you're almost there already.

but somehow your didn't read this project's installation instructions. 🤷‍♀️

(also, as i said, PR with suggested doc improvements welcome.)

[Bluscream]

If at all the pr should focus on the wheel not on the docs

[wbolster]

if you're on modern linux i think you should be able to use the prebuilt wheels, avoiding the build step completely.

not sure why your system didn't pick those up. recent python, recent pip, recent plyvel? (this would be something for a new plyvel issue though)
