I’m testing MacOS Sonoma 14.0 Beta (currently in a M1 MBPro) as I wanted to get hands on it for some future projects…
After the upgrade, I’ve discovered I cannot use iex, mix or any erlang related command anymore
I’ve tried with my current installation (asdf) and also installing elixir with brew. Any of them works unfortunately…
The error I get is the following:
mix compile
[1] 69035 bus error mix compile
But I can still run python, ruby and the rest of my usual tools.
Has anyone run into the same problem?
Or do you know a way how could I debug better the error maybe?
Shenanigans of ARM vs. Intel processor instructions, maybe? You got Rosetta installed? If so, have you made sure you’re running the ARM version of Erlang/Elixir?
thanks for answering!!
I don’t have Rosetta nope (or at least I wasn’t aware of it)
I was lucky enough that when I got the laptop this was already solved
Edit: running pgrep oahd returns me an int, so looks like I have it… the problem is that I haven’t changed anything about the versions installed (aside from MacOS) recently, so that’s why I was wondering if the update was the problem…
Hey @jhogberg ! Thanks for trying to help us
I’ve just installed Erlang from source and it works correctly and without any errors (even in the smoke test).
Looks like this error could be coming then from ASDF and brew binaries maybe?
I will try now installing Elixir from source too!
Edit: Same for Elixir! Installing from source makes it work as expected. @Raf1 you could do the same as a workaround for now
If that’s the one installed with asdf, running process launch should start it and hopefully make it crash. At the crash, run x/5i $pc - 8 and info registers and paste the results here.
If that’s the one you built from source, it most likely won’t crash and you’ll need to wrangle lldb manually to start the asdf one. Start lldb and run the same commands as in the listing you pasted, albeit with the paths changed to the installation provided by asdf.
You won’t believe me now
I’ve removed the source installations from Erlang & Elixir (from /usr/local/lib) in order to install ASDF’s plugins again.
Now, after reinstalling everything works and the bus error is not there anymore…
Also when running which elixir or which erl, it returns ASDF’s directory, so I’m not running “source” installations anymore.
What have I done?
I don’t know what to say other than that it’s weird.
I’d appreciate it if someone could reproduce this, it’s good to know the cause even if it the problem turns out solely to be a problem with asdf, brew, or similar.
OTP 26 indeed, all other versions didn’t work for me as well.
The builds of prior versions failed when calling erlc program, which was installed using homebrew and causing a bus error.
The megaco_flex_scanner seems to be relying on the flex tool, maybe try to build flex from a release archive? Link install flex
I had the same issue when upgrading to Sonoma. I use asdf to manage my versions. I’m using Elixir 1.14.4 and Erlang 26.0. Both worked fine before the upgrade, but something about the OS update (and dev tools update) broke my local installs.
For me I just had to uninstall/reinstall Elixir and Erlang to fix it.
Hi, I compile Elixir using Brew, and here are the results:
