unable to install mesa

[JilinHu]

Hi, While I was trying to install mesa through brew command on Ubuntu 20.04, it always fails and shows the error below. I have reinstalled libdrm or llvm and so on but it doesn't work. Anybody knows? Thanks a lot.

[carlocab]

Please don't use screenshots when sharing the output of commands in your terminal. They're often difficult to read and impossible to reuse (e.g. when looking up error messages). Instead, copy the text here and wrap them in three back-ticks (```) on the line before and on the line after to format them properly.

What is the output of brew config and brew doctor? Also, please do brew gist-logs mesa and post the resulting link here.

[gromgit]

You've deviated from a standard Homebrew Linux installation in at least two problematic ways:

1. You're using a non-standard prefix (/usr/local instead of /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew).
2. You're running WSL instead of "native" Linux.

If you're running WSL1 instead of WSL2, that's yet another point of deviation. As far as I know, source builds on user installations have never been guaranteed to work, WSL installations doubly so. There are simply too many things that can go wrong, and the Mesa build logs you posted don't really shed any light (at least to me) about the root cause of your build failure.

Unless you absolutely cannot do so, you really should install Homebrew under /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew and under WSL2 (if you aren't doing so already). That means your formula installs will largely use pre-built binaries, which is one HUGE variable removed from any further troubleshooting that may be required.

[carlocab]

Yes, if you're on WSL1 that might be this problem: #2777

[JilinHu]

Thank you! My wsl version is 2 but I am not going to continue on this system. Instead I install ubuntu and try to install brew through command on hoomebrew page. But I received an error which I met sometimes and I dont know how to solve it.

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

I have tryed the command below but it dosn't work.

[gromgit]

error: RPC failed; curl 56 GnuTLS recv error (-9): Error decoding the received TLS packet.

That's a network failure, but at least you got past the Homebrew software installation part. Try the following:

# set up Homebrew environment
eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
brew update-reset

# if the previous command completed successfully...
brew install mesa

Once you've verified that Homebrew works as expected, you probably want to add the eval command above at the end of the startup script for your login shell. For bash, it's ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile, whichever exists. For Zsh, it's ~/.zprofile.

[JilinHu]

Well I have encountered another problem while excuting brew fetch llvm. It always got stuck at 42.0% and the total file is about 350MB,
unfortunately I didn't find useful solution on the Internet yet. I thought it's a network failure but don't know how to fix it.

It appears you're behind the Great Firewall of China, so you may be better served by a local bottle mirror instead. See #1917 for details.

[JilinHu]

Well Thanks for your reply. That's true. And It's really weird that I download it successfully just switching to a high speed network.

[gromgit]

Not weird at all. That's probably why your compatriots set up the mirrors in the first place, because large downloads through a national firewall tend to break.

[JilinHu]

After setting this. I can install the example hello, but I got stuck at ghostscript. This man had the problem alike(Homebrew/homebrew-core#88617)

While I try : brew fetch --force --debug --verbose I got the response below.

[gromgit]

While I try : brew fetch --force --debug --verbose [...] It just stop download here.

I can confirm that patch being downloaded is exactly 809 bytes long, so it looks like the Great Firewall is refusing to close your connection for some reason. The folks in a position to help resolve your issue are on your side of the firewall.

That said, as long as you're using an up-to-date core tap (and your brew config says you are), brew fetch should be pulling down a bottle, not the source code as your output indicates. What's the output of brew info ghostscript?

[JilinHu]

I just delete these lines cause it's the reson why I can't continue but it shows another issues so I thought the patch is also necessary for building.

[carlocab]

Not sure why your ghostscript bottle is missing. You shouldn't need to build this from source. In any case, it might help to unset these

all_proxy: socks://127.0.0.1:7891/
http_proxy: http://127.0.0.1:7890
https_proxy: http://127.0.0.1:7890
no_proxy: localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com

and then try brew fetch ghostscript. If that doesn't work, try brew fetch --build-from-source ghostscript.

[gromgit]

Not sure why your ghostscript bottle is missing.

I suspect this:

From: https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/git/homebrew/homebrew-core.git/Formula/ghostscript.rb

has something to do with it.

@asdasdssw, you might want to ask the Tsinghua mirror maintainers why their ghostscript mirror formula has no bottles.

[JilinHu]

yeh, it's funny, I am doubting it too so I change it to the original bottle on github. But it succeed after I unset the proxy rather than before, it's confusing.

[carlocab]

I suspect this:

Probably, but I find that surprising, since

HOMEBREW_CORE_GIT_REMOTE: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core

It looks like the Tsinghua mirror is actually a fork and not a mirror. I don't blame them, since changes in brew seem to break them all the time.

[carlocab]

On the other hand, this commit checks out:

ORIGIN: https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/git/homebrew/brew.git
HEAD: 069ab087f99fd183aee599bf785cb835d5868407

So... not sure why the formula is still being pulled from a mirror. Proxy settings still maybe?

[JilinHu]

Thank you. Unseting the proxy works! But I don't know why as the proxy helps me to access to outer-Internet. I have set the homebrew ORIGIN and bottle to the real github rather than the mirrors. In that case I shouldn't access the outer-Internet as the proxy is off.
By the way, why the proxy lines still shows below after I unset them?

[gromgit]

Something is still wrong.

ghostscript: stable 9.55.0, HEAD

should be:

ghostscript: stable 9.55.0 (bottled), HEAD

By the way, why the proxy lines still shows below after I unset them?

Because you didn't unset them in the environment you ran brew config. unset all_proxy http_proxy https_proxy no_proxy, then brew config again to confirm that they're really unset, then do all other Homebrew stuff in this shell.

Once you've confirmed that you really have unset those variables, brew update-reset to reset your core tap, then brew info ghostscript again. If you still don't see (bottled), your Homebrew setup is pretty badly messed up.

[JilinHu]

Thanks for your suggestions! I'll follow them later and now I get back to the origin problem with mesa.

And here is the result of brew gist-logs mesa
https://gist.github.com/16844d4333cc602e80931daf6a686bdb, hope something changes now.

[gromgit]

I don't see any difference from your first run, but I confirmed that mesa rebuilds correctly on both my own Ubuntu 21.10 setup and Homebrew's own Ubuntu 20.10 Docker container, so it's likely to be something unique to your setup.

Speaking of setup, this part of your brew config output is troubling:

HOMEBREW_CELLAR: /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Homebrew/Cellar

Your non-standard Cellar location is the reason why you're forced to rebuild mesa; it and a couple thousand other formulae have non-relocatable bottles that absolutely must reside in /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar. Unless you plan to spend days trying to figure out what's happening, I strongly recommend using the official Homebrew installer, which puts things in the Right Places and lets you use bottles to the full.

[JilinHu]

Thank you very much! I finally make it. I didn't know that the prefix path really matter a lot. And I also got messed up with the environment variable. So I uninstall the homebrew, and reinstall it following the guide in my country's mirror website step by step. Then I get formulaes downloads with bottle rather than source and it becomes faster to install them.
I really learned a lot through our discussion and thank you again.@gromgit@carlocab
