Could NOT find LibDebuginfod

[nobody4t]

Hi,

I am new here. When to compile bcc from source in ubuntu 20.04, I got a line at the first step. Could NOT find LibDebuginfod (missing: LIBDEBUGINFOD_LIBRARIES LIBDEBUGINFOD_INCLUDE_DIRS)

But I googled a lot without any info.

Please help. Which package includes this lib? Thanks.

[chenhengqi]

sudo apt install libdebuginfod-dev

[nobody4t]

I guess this lib is not important. But when I try to build without this lib. I got so many warnings.

[nobody4t]

sudo apt install libdebuginfod-dev

This does not work.

[APIPLM]

yum list *libdebuginfod* can not find it as well. Did your guys find the repo for this lib?

[nobody4t]

@APIPLM It seems this lib is not a standard package for linux. I googled a lot and found this lib relates to some other binary, like groovy. But installation of groovy does not help either.

This should be some debug tools. I just left it out and compiled the resource. It works well.

[APIPLM]

@dongwangdw Thanks. Remark the line find_package(LibDebuginfod) in the CMakeLists.txt file, the compilation has been done without stopping in my side. Not sure that what functionality will need this lib. Or it is just for the building activity. There is a place about the debuginfod .

Maybe you need elfutils installed.

[APIPLM]

In this pull request, for bpftrace , there is an integration to debuginfod.

[nobody4t]

None of the proposals works.

[APIPLM]

Sound like that debuginfod is in the active test process. See the linker https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=summary. you can check them the status of the project.

The source code of debuginfod in the project elfutils . In order to build the project, we have to lib sqlite3, curl libmicrohttpd and libarchive. It is totally the whole thing, Not only the web version of it to connect the debuginfod web server, there is the web service https://debuginfod.systemtap.org/ available , and also build the local debuginfod server. In my site, I stop building at the sqlite now . Sound like the web client is done. Then add back the line find_package(LibDebuginfod) to in the CMakeLists.txt file. It success.

[russoue]

I did the following and the error went away:

sudo dnf install -y elfutils-devel

I encountered another error after that (Unable to find clang libraries) but that is not relevant to elfutils I believe.

[APIPLM]

In my side. I have not installed elfutils-devel , I still can build the whole bunch of things. But I enable debug Debuginfo repo. I guest that there are two ways to build it. One is you mentioned install elfutils-devel, other one is enable Debuginfo repo.

The error you mentioned in the above. Seem like that gcc can not find out.

I have the same error -- Found LLVM: /usr/lib/llvm-10/include 10.0.0 -- Could NOT find LibDebuginfod (missing: LIBDEBUGINFOD_LIBRARIES LIBDEBUGINFOD_INCLUDE_DIRS) CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:106 (message): Unable to find clang libraries -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! and I usesudo apt install -y bison build-essential cmake flex git libedit-dev \ libllvm7 llvm-7-dev libclang-7-dev python zlib1g-dev libelf-dev libfl-dev python3-distutils to install all the libraries .I still confused.Yesterday I can intall bcc=tools on the other computer. By the way,both of the ubuntu 20.04

[guedou]

I had a similar issue on Ubuntu 18.04. Botch clang 9.0 and 6.0 were installed. I removed 6.0 and was able to compile bcc.

[huornlmj]

Same here on Ubuntu 20.04.2 focal LTS

This still seems to be an issue on Amazon Linux 2

I followed Amazon 2 instructions at

https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/INSTALL.md#amazon-linux---source

I needed to define LLVM_DIR=/usr/share/llvm/cmake/ to get this far

Have installed all the elfutils packages, llvm7 and llvm11 to no avail.
Setting LLVM_ROOT does not seem to help On Amazon linux 2 llvm is installed in /usr/lib64 but clang is in /usr/lib

[mertyildiran]

Checkout to a stable commit or tag like:

git checkout v0.24.0

[ahn9807]

I fix this issue by using different llvm version at cmake.

cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/lib/llvm-12

[ZhangHuiGui]

solved by : sudo apt-get install libclang-10-dev

Need to install the clang dev package.

[chenhengqi]

LibDebuginfod is not required for the BCC core functionalities.

Just ignore the warning, or if you need it, install it.

[aakejiang]

I have both llvm10 and llvm12 on Ubuntu 20.04. Uninstall llvm10 solve the problem.

sudo apt remove llvm-10-dev
sudo apt remove libllvm10

[fredfany]

dnf install -y elfutils-devel

This proposal works! Thank you！
