But then other error pops up:

musl/bin/ld file is there.

Also tried building from source - same error on make step pops up.

What am I missing here?

[adrolter]

Is there a known solution to this? I'm running into the same problem with PHP 8.1.10 on Alpine 3.16. I also have lapack-dev installed.

[adrolter]

@Kabingeran Why would anyone message you privately to discuss this topic? Just post your solution here if you have one

[Kabingeran]

@adrianguenter In each case, it will probably be different. Why write to me in private? To get your solution. Well, try making symbolic links. This should help.

[epoxa]

@adrianguenter In each case, it will probably be different. Why write to me in private? To get your solution. Well, try making symbolic links. This should help.

What symbolic links do you mean? I have exactly the same issue when trying to build the extension from source.

[adrolter]

@epoxa Yeah, I don't know why they're being so cryptic. There's definitely a general purpose solution to this, so if they've solved it I wish they'd just share it with the community.

[Kabingeran]

There is no universal solution. Try installing lapack with the specified version and making symlinks if needed. There are several deprecation errors after installing on 8.1. No need to install on 8.1 yet.

[adrolter]

Most things can be generalized to a certain degree, though, and I'm sure that is the case here as well. You're being intentionally cryptic for some strange reason.

[mlocati]

You need to know the Alpine version you are using (cat /etc/os-release):

• For Alpine versions older than 3.11 I don't have a solution
• For Alpilne 3.11 to 3.14, you need the lapack, lapack-dev, openblas-dev apk packages
• For Alpine 3.15 to 3.17, you need the lapack, lapack-dev, openblas-dev apk packages and you need to run

  ln -s /usr/lib/liblapacke.so.3 /usr/lib/liblapacke.so
  

• For Alpine 3.18 and newer, you need the liblapack, lapack-dev, openblas-dev apk packages

[mlocati]

PS: if and once #39 will be merged, and a new version is published on PECL, I can update my install-php-extensions script so that you can install tensor very easily.

[Kabingeran]

It seems PECL has been updated. For Alpine in Docker this worked for me:

RUN apk add --no-cache openblas-dev libexecinfo-dev lapack=3.10.1-r0 RUN ln -s /usr/lib/liblapack.so.3 /usr/lib/liblapack.so \ && ln -s /usr/lib/liblapacke.so.3 /usr/lib/liblapacke.so RUN pecl install tensor RUN docker-php-ext-enable tensor

[mlocati]

Yep, that works. You an also check here to see what should be done in order to have the correct apk (and apt) dependencies:

https://github.com/RubixML/Tensor/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci-ext.yml#L40

[mlocati]

@Kabingeran you can also use this script of mine to install tensor (and a ton of other PHP extensions) without having to worry about the system requirements (apk/apt libraries, symbolic links, and so on). Simply write

install-php-extensions tensor

and you are done.

[Kabingeran]

I tried it on Alpine 3.16. It is unlikely that anyone will need older versions. Alpine 3.19: RUN apk add --no-cache openblas-dev lapack-dev RUN pecl install tensor RUN docker-php-ext-enable tensor
