Trouble-shooting the development installation¶

M2Crypto installation¶

If you are on a Linux box and get a compilation error while installing M2Crypto like the following:

SWIG/_m2crypto_wrap.c:6116:1: error: unknown type name ‘STACK’

... snip a very long output of errors around STACK...

SWIG/_m2crypto_wrap.c:23497:20: error: expected expression before ‘)’ token

   result = (STACK *)pkcs7_get0_signers(arg1,arg2,arg3);

                    ^

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

It may be because of a few reasons:

comment the line starting with M2Crypto in requirements/compiled.txt

install the patched package from the Debian repositories (replace x86_64-linux-gnu by i386-linux-gnu if you’re on a 32bits platform):

DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH=x86_64-linux-gnu pip install -I --exists-action=w "git+git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/m2crypto.git@debian/0.21.1-3#egg=M2Crypto"
pip install --no-deps -r requirements/dev.txt

revert your changes to requirements/compiled.txt:
```
git checkout requirements/compiled.txt
```

Pillow¶

As of Mac OS X Mavericks, you might see this error when pip builds Pillow:

clang: error: unknown argument: '-mno-fused-madd' [-Wunused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future]

clang: note: this will be a hard error (cannot be downgraded to a warning) in the future

error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1

You can solve this by setting these environment variables in your shell before running pip install ...:

export CFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments
export CPPFLAGS=-Qunused-arguments
pip install ...

Image processing isn’t working¶

If adding images to apps or extensions doesn’t seem to work then there’s a couple of settings you should check.

Checking your PIL installation (Ubuntu)¶

When you run you should see at least JPEG and ZLIB are supported

If that’s the case you should see this in the output of pip install -I PIL:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
*** TKINTER support not available
--- JPEG support available
--- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support available
*** FREETYPE2 support not available
*** LITTLECMS support not available
--------------------------------------------------------------------

If you don’t then this suggests PIL can’t find your image libraries:

To fix this double-check you have the necessary development libraries installed first (e.g: sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev)

Now run the following for 32bit:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libz.so /usr/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so /usr/lib

Or this if your running 64bit:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so /usr/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so /usr/lib

Note

If you don’t know what arch you are running run uname -m if the output is x86_64 then it’s 64-bit, otherwise it’s 32bit e.g. i686

Now re-install PIL:

pip install -I PIL

And you should see the necessary image libraries are now working with PIL correctly.

ES is timing out¶

This can be caused by number_of_replicas not being set to 0 for the local indexes.

To check the settings run:

curl -s localhost:9200/_cluster/state\?pretty | fgrep number_of_replicas -B 5

If you see any that aren’t 0 do the following:

Set ES_DEFAULT_NUM_REPLICAS to 0 in your local settings.

To set them to zero immediately run:

curl -XPUT localhost:9200/_settings -d '{ "index" : { "number_of_replicas" : 0 } }'
