joinmarket failes to install

Open techy2 opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

ubuntu 18.04.5, ubuntu20.04, debian-buster at some point on all f these platforms, joinmarket fails to install either with install.sh or manually

A known good linux distribution for installation would be appreciated in the README.md

It should definitely work on 2004; not sure about the other 2 but I believe debian should be fine .. but you should give some details about what you mean by 'it failed'.

It is different with each distro I started with focal32, but there is no pypi2 for 32 bits used a clean install of ubuntu 20.04 and ran up against python3 library incompatibilities, manually attempted several 36 ->3.11 installations but no luck moved to 18.04.5, similar problems with the python libraries, tried to build and install various versions, building from clean install each time (this is on a VM so relatively easy to do) Each time running into missing python libs the would not load or were incompatible with no apparent workaound using either pip or aptitude up/downgrade. From reading about problems people were having with same issues, concluded that buster was probably the most common distro so tried that. It failed with a different message thatn the other 2 , failing to load requirements/base.txt tried both install.sh and manual build from clean distro install. It would be nice to get this to work, but it seems way to finicky. I am an IT professional and developer with 20+ years of work with linux, this should be a snap, sigh.... I can't provide you with additional info beyond this at the moment, I am offsite a couple of thousand miles away from my datacenter for the next 3+ weeks. Happy to do what I can when I return

ran up against python3 library incompatibilities

Need to know what these are. Terminal output showing the errors would be a good way to give us a chance to debug whatever is wrong in your setup.

@techy2 did you get this sorted? I recently got Joimarket up and running on a clean install of Ubuntu 22.04 without any problems so that might be worth a try.
