uhd @3.9.1_0: Symbol not found: _CRYPTO_malloc_debug_init

[sayhong@…]

Hi all, trying to follow instructions to install gr-osmosdr.

Getting errors on install uhd. Been checking for a while on this website but no dice.

Hmm, log says:

Haven't seen that one before.

Interesting. Let me look into it.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

I'll fix this issue sometime; pretty busy with various other things right now. A way around this is to temporarily deactivate a couple of ports, clean uhd, install uhd, then activate those other ports. The ports causing this seem to be py27-cffi and py27-openssl. I've no idea why just right now. Here's my recommendation as a script:

sudo port -f deactivate py27-cffi py27-openssl
sudo port clean uhd
sudo port install uhd

and if that works, then:

sudo port activate py27-cffi py27-openssl

If that does not work, then attach the new log file & we'll figure out something more to try.

Getting stranger by the minute....

Yes: strange! What do the following return:

port provides /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cffi/verifier.py
port provides /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/OpenSSL/__init__.py

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

More importantly, what do the following return:

port provides /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography/_Cryptography_cffi_a269d620xd5c405b7.so
port provides /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography/__init__.py

If all of the 'port provides' comes back as something like "[FILE] is not provided by a MacPorts port.", then there's something strange about your MacPorts install. What -might- work is to "rm -rf" those directories; for example, if the file "cffi/verified.py" is not provided by a MacPorts port, then you could do:

pushd /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages
sudo rm -rf cffi

And, ditto for the other 2 directories (OpenSSL and cryptography).

Alternatively, you can do something like:

sudo port -f install py27-openssl py27-cffi py27-cryptography

which will just overwrite the files that are currently there, and see if that works.

No matter what you try above, you'll have to do:

sudo port clean uhd

and (re)build uhd from scratch; sorry about that!

Managed to (re)build uhd after some deleting.

First,

$ port provides /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cffi/verifier.py
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cffi/verifier.py is not provided by a MacPorts port.

$ port provides /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/OpenSSL/__init__.py
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/OpenSSL/__init__.py is not provided by a MacPorts port.

Next,

$sudo rm -rf cffi/ cffi-1.1.2-py2.7.egg-info/ OpenSSL/ cryptography/

Anyone know what this egg-info is? I see it for OpenSSL as well.

$sudo port clean uhd
$sudo port install uhd

uhd installed! :) Thanks michaeld!

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

The egg-info is just info Python uses for a given module; it is installed at the same time as the Python files, and can be safely removed at the same time.

I'm glad deleting those directories / files worked. Cruft happens.
