Hello, I just updated to Rakudo-2020.06, and while updating many of my modules to their latest versions I saw an error installing/updating (Raku) LibCurl. Below, the first few lines of the error seen with LibCurl::Easy (and EasyHandle):
===> Testing: LibCurl:ver<1.0>:auth<github:CurtTilmes>:api<1> [LibCurl] # Failed test 'LibCurl::EasyHandle module can be use-d ok' [LibCurl] # at t/01-load.t line 6 [LibCurl] # Cannot load native library 'libcurl.so.4' [LibCurl] # Failed test 'LibCurl::Easy module can be use-d ok' [LibCurl] # at t/01-load.t line 8 [LibCurl] # ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling /Users/myuseraccount/.zef/store/raku-libcurl.git/random_40-character-alphanumeric/lib/LibCurl/Easy.rakumod (LibCurl::Easy) [LibCurl] # Cannot load native library 'libcurl.so.4' [LibCurl] # at /Users/myuseraccount/.zef/store/raku-libcurl.git/random_40-character-alphanumeric/lib/LibCurl/Easy.rakumod (LibCurl::Easy):2 So one caveat is that this install is on an OS which many would consider to be "MacOS.10.ancient" [I'm posting here and not on Github because we seem to have a number of Mac users on this mailing-list]. But the fact of the matter is Raku LibCurl:ver<0.9> worked just fine with Rakudo-2020.02.1. Furthermore, now that I've downgraded back to Raku LibCurl:ver<0.9>, LibCurl::Easy works once again on the latest Rakudo-2020.06. So I really feel the problem is with LibCurl:ver<1.0> on Macs, and not my particular install. Questions for Mac-heads: Do newer versions of MacOS still install LibCurl as part of the OS? Where does that reside? I know I have libcurl in the following directories, however 'libcurl.so.4' is conspicuously absent: /opt/local/lib/libcurl.4.dylib /opt/local/lib/libcurl.a /opt/local/lib/libcurl.dylib Are Mac-users able to use (Raku) LibCurl:ver<1.0> on their (newer) systems? FYI, I've installed curl independently of MacOS via either MacBrew or MacPorts, and in fact MacBrew reports upon attempting to update: "Warning: curl 7.71.1 is already installed and up-to-date". Any help appreciated, Thx, Bill.
