subtle installation fail on archlinux [solved]

Added by cedlemo ... almost 13 years ago

Hi,

I can't install the last subtle-hg on archlinux whereas I was able to install/compile it 2 days before. I make a time line (it would be easier to explain ):

01-02-2012   Desktop PC update of subtle-hg (3180-1 -> 3181-1) -> OK

02-02-2012   Laptop PC install of subtle-hg (3181-1) -> Failed
             Desktop PC try to re-install subtle-hg (3181-1) via yaourt/pacman -> Failed
             Desktop PC try to re-install subtle-hg (3181-1) via hg clone ... and rake -> Failed
             error message: 
                checking for stdio.h... yes
                checking for stdlib.h... yes
                checking for stdarg.h... yes

                rake aborted!
                invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII

                (See full trace by running task with --trace)

Before the probleme appears, I have made systeme update and installed some applications: 
[2012-02-01 21:31] installed libtorrent (0.12.9-1)
[2012-02-01 21:31] installed xmlrpc-c (2222-1)
[2012-02-01 21:31] installed rtorrent (0.8.9-2)
[2012-02-01 22:17] upgraded kmod (4-1 -> 4-2)
[2012-02-01 22:17] upgraded run-parts (4.0.4-1 -> 4.2.1-1)

Any ideas of what happens?

Nope, there should be no unicode characters in the rakefile. Please remove the temp files and reinstall.

It works now with yaourt. I don't know why ... but it works

Thanks

RE: subtle installation fail on archlinux [solved] - Added by Christoph Kappel almost 13 years ago

Hum, I changed nothing in the rakefile just updated the PKGBUILD since hg is currently broken in makepkg/pacman.

RE: subtle installation fail on archlinux [solved] - Added by cedlemo ... almost 13 years ago

Yes it works with yaourt but it still doesn't work if I clone the sources and launch rake.

It still complains about invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII and don't compile subtle

RE: subtle installation fail on archlinux [solved] - Added by Christoph Kappel almost 13 years ago

Hm, that is pretty odd. I doubt that you have any non-US-ASCII sequences in either your username or in the path you want to build subtle in?

RE: subtle installation fail on archlinux [solved] - Added by cedlemo ... almost 13 years ago

no I don't. And I have the same problem on two PCs with two differents users.

Note:

I launch the rake as normal user.

RE: subtle installation fail on archlinux [solved] - Added by Christoph Kappel almost 13 years ago

Hm, interesting - no idea how to debug that, since it just happens for you and no one else. The easy fix is to add 

# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
to the top of all ruby files. I'll probably do that.

Edit: Added that in r3182.

Christoph,

I am sorry sometimes my brain is in holydays. When your ask me if I had non-US-ASCII in either your username or in the path I just read "in your username". The fact is that I have utf-8 char in the path of the subtle directory (/home/cedlemo/Téléchargements/subtle). And that is the problem, because if I set the subtle directory in a more common path (/home/cedlemo/subtle) the rake command works.

Again I am very sorry, I am trying to get more informations on this type of problem here:

RE: subtle installation fail on archlinux [solved] - Added by Christoph Kappel almost 13 years ago

Np, sometimes that just happens.

Did you try the changes from r3182? I added the encoding header to the rakefile, that should basically cover problems like that.

RE: subtle installation fail on archlinux [solved] - Added by cedlemo ... almost 13 years ago

Yes but, it still fails to compile with non-ASCII char in path

RE: subtle installation fail on archlinux [solved] - Added by Christoph Kappel almost 13 years ago

Yeah, noticed that and I've completely forgotten to add that to the rakefile. Anyway, that doesn't solve the problem, I answered to your SO post.

RE: subtle installation fail on archlinux [solved] - Added by cedlemo ... almost 13 years ago

haha,

I posted in SO because I don't want to bothering you with this little problem and it's you who answers me. This is fun.

Thanks you
