libtinfo.so.5 issue with using buildpack

[callumcieciala]

Hey,

Sorry if this is the wrong place.

All signs point to this buildpack for deploying elixir to cloudfoundry (KubecCF).

When using the buildpack I get staging failed:

Has anyone seen anything similar? or has any ideas?, this issue is driving me insane.

Thanks!

I tried a branch from April just as a what if and I got;

@callumcieciala, did you figure this out?

[callumcieciala]

@NduatiK nope, I scoured the internet and after chatting to a few people in elixir + cloudfoundry slack channels. Nobody had any ideas with this specific issue, I've moved on to alternative solutions.

[NduatiK]

Thanks I've been trying to deploy elixir on Digital Ocean using Dokku but no luck either. I'll keep at it and give up if a few hours go by.

[ArthurFleischman]

i still have this problem in sep 2021, may be some internals or local .so files missing at heroku's servers.

[dustinfarris]

Also seeing this on a recent production deploy on Gigalixir.

[NduatiK]

I think this is related to the Ubuntu version. I had success with Ubuntu 18. I can't recall how I set that for Heroku or Gigalixir. Probably an .env file.

I check it out and report back

Edit:

On Heroku, I added a .env file to my project root that specified my target stack.

# .env
STACK="heroku-18"

[joshcrews]

I expect Ubuntu version is the issue. I just tried upgrading heroku to heroku-22 stack and got this

I don't know the solution

Having the same issue with buildpack

[kasvith]

I used container stack with heroku using a Dockerfile instead

[pbjTEG]

I inherited an Erlang app (I don't speak Erlang) and solved this problem by updating elixir_buildpack.config:

erlang_version=24.2
elixir_version=1.14.0

and mix.exs:

elixir: "~> 1.14.0",

Luckily, the app still builds. Wish me luck on the push from staging to live.

@pbjTEG How did you manage to make this work? When I try this Erlang version, I get

Sorry, Erlang 24.2 isn't supported yet. For a list of supported versions, please see https://github.com/HashNuke/heroku-buildpack-elixir#version-support

[martasd]

As @joshcrews, this relates to the Heroku stack version. When I downgrade to heroku-20 stack, the compilation issue does not occur. Thus the workaround for now is to use the previous stack:

$ heroku apps:stacks:set heroku-20

@pbjTEG How did you manage to make this work? When I try this Erlang version, I get

Sorry, Erlang 24.2 isn't supported yet. For a list of supported versions, please see https://github.com/HashNuke/heroku-buildpack-elixir#version-support

I probably should have mentioned that I'm using an Elixir buildpack, https://github.com/HashNuke/heroku-buildpack-elixir

You can get more information about it here: https://elements.heroku.com/buildpacks/heroku/heroku-buildpack-erlang

[ricardohsd]

Setting the heroku stack:set heroku-20 worked for me
