Package: rustc Version: 1.14.0+dfsg1-3 Severity: important File: /usr/bin/rustc
Dear Maintainer, I wanted to learn rust, following the tutorial/book at https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ I first of all, installed rust using the rustup tool as directed in the book at https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ch01-01-installation.html On compiling, the code failed with the error : error: linking with `cc` failed: exit code: 1 | = note: "cc" "-Wl,--as-needed" "-Wl,-z,noexecstack" "-m64" "-L" "/home/frederick/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib" "main.main0.rust-cgu.o" "main.main1.rust-cgu.o" "-o" "main" "main.crate.allocator.rust-cgu.o" "-Wl,--gc-sections" "-pie" "-Wl,-z,relro,-z,now" "-nodefaultlibs" "-L" "/home/frederick/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib" "-Wl,-Bstatic" "/home/frederick/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libstd-fe0b1b991511fcaa.rlib" "/home/frederick/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/librand-3d7b10e850a67e89.rlib" "/home/frederick/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/liballoc_jemalloc-28484309357fd6f1.rlib" "/home/frederick/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/liballoc_system-751808ba756769d5.rlib" "/home/frederick/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libpanic_unwind-8cb97051d8238386.rlib" "/home/frederick/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libunwind-25cc9b024a02d330.rlib" "/home/frederick/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/liblibc-d42e80cee81b06ce.rlib" "/home/frederick/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/liballoc-78c21267a2dc15c1.rlib" "/home/frederick/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libstd_unicode-0e1b544c94586415.rlib" "/home/frederick/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libcore-0c5e3d6c117f8c44.rlib" "/home/frederick/.rustup/toolchains/stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libcompiler_builtins-bd7cc5ada1e908e0.rlib" "-Wl,-Bdynamic" "-l" "dl" "-l" "rt" "-l" "pthread" "-l" "pthread" "-l" "gcc_s" "-l" "c" "-l" "m" "-l" "rt" "-l" "pthread" "-l" "util" = note: ld-wrapper: error: attempt to use impure library "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/6/libgcc_s.so" collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status I thus searched on google, and even started off a StackOverflow thread on this issue at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47737761/rust-on-debian-9-2-error-due-to-impure-library After giving it a while, I thought it might be the interaction between the rustc installed via rustup and the system libraries that was causing the errors, so I unistalled that via rustup, and installed the rustc that is present in the Debian repository, rustc (1.14.0+dfsg1-3) and tried to compile the hello world program again. I got a similar error with this rustc too: error: linking with `cc` failed: exit code: 1 | = note: "cc" "-Wl,--as-needed" "-Wl,-z,noexecstack" "-m64" "-L" "/usr/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib" "main.0.o" "-o" "main" "-Wl,--gc-sections" "-pie" "-nodefaultlibs" "-L" "/usr/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib" "-Wl,-Bstatic" "-Wl,-Bdynamic" "/usr/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libstd-f5a209a9.rlib" "/usr/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libpanic_unwind-f5a209a9.rlib" "/usr/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libunwind-f5a209a9.rlib" "/usr/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/librand-f5a209a9.rlib" "/usr/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libcollections-f5a209a9.rlib" "/usr/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/librustc_unicode-f5a209a9.rlib" "/usr/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/liballoc-f5a209a9.rlib" "/usr/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/liballoc_jemalloc-f5a209a9.rlib" "/usr/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/liblibc-f5a209a9.rlib" "/usr/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libcore-f5a209a9.rlib" "/usr/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libcompiler_builtins-f5a209a9.rlib" "-l" "dl" "-l" "pthread" "-l" "gcc_s" "-l" "pthread" "-l" "c" "-l" "m" "-l" "rt" "-l" "util" = note: ld-wrapper: error: attempt to use impure library "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/6/libgcc_s.so" collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status I had expected rustc to compile main.rs into something I could execute that would then print out "Hello, world!" -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages rustc depends on: ii binutils 2.28-5 ii gcc 4:6.3.0-4 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libjs-jquery 3.1.1-2 ii libstd-rust-dev 1.14.0+dfsg1-3 Versions of packages rustc recommends: ii rust-gdb 1.14.0+dfsg1-3 Versions of packages rustc suggests: pn rust-doc <none> -- no debconf information -- Frederick M.
