Rust: error: linking with `cc` failed: exit code: 1 (Only appeared within the last two weeks)

Created on 11 May 2015  ·  52Comments  ·  Source: rust-lang/rust

Here's the issue in the rust-portaudio crate.

Travis recently started failing (see here) on both the nightly and beta as well as on my local machine despite working fine on all of the above about two weeks ago (there have been no changes to the repo since it was last working fine).

The crate itself builds fine, however both examples cause the linking error (linked above) to occur.

@alexcrichton I thought this might be related to #16734, however I haven't yet been able to develop a workaround or identify the direct source of the issue within the repo. I also can't explain why it would have only started occurring within the last two weeks. Just thought I'd post in case you (or anyone else) have any ideas.

Looks like this is still happening after 2 years? +1

The error logs seem to have changed or gone away, could you gist a fresh set of error logs?

@alexcrichton Ahh, sorry about that! Here are the fresh error logs.

Fascinating! I believe this is perhaps a Cargo bug instead of a Rust one, but it's... definitely interesting. The problem here is that the linker is being invoked like this:

cc -o foo/libfoo.so -L foo -lfoo

In this case foo is portaudio for you, but you're both generating a dynamic library called libportaudio.so _and_ linking against (I presume) the system libportaudio.so. Unfortunately these names are the same, so the linker appears to be creating the output libportaudio.so file _first_, and then attempting to link that in (but it errors because it's invalid).

tl;dr; this is caused by https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/commit/27efa7ba03a2054bf8b62f8d5c568918b7d35b0d and will be fixed by renaming your crate or not building a dylib.

I'm going to close this for now, though, as it's not a Rust bug. If you're interested in having this use case work, however, could you open a bug against Cargo to re-add a hash to the filename at the top level? It seems like a reasonable piece of configuration to add :)

Looks like this is still happening after 2 years? 🤔

I have encounter the same issue using Ubuntu, and can be solved with gcc-multilib
sudo apt install gcc-multilib

@ivolvicente your solution did not work for me on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Any suggestion you might have?

This is still happening and it should be considered a Rust bug. I've been trying to fix this for days and trying every possible answer online and none of them work.

OpenSSL works just fine for all my other developer environments, for what it matters.

I just upgraded to MacOS Mojave and can't get anything Rust to work, link, etc. correctly.

Now what?

curl -L https://git.io/rustlings | bash causes it on MacOS.

I'm also experiencing this after upgrading to Mojave

I think this issue should be opened because it's still happening...

update:

in my case, it has been fixed with:

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER target
cargo clean
cargo run

        }
    }

    fn update(&mut self, msg: Self::Message) -> ShouldRender {
        match msg {
            Msg::DoIt => self.value = self.value + 1
        }
        true

I am having this problem when executing cargo test --all in Amethyst and Rocket

This error appears when I try to compile project created by amethyst new. A the bottom it says
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb-render /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb-shape /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxcb-xfixes

getting this error on Noria DB compiling at "noria-server"

Hi guys, try
sudo xcode-select --reset

worked for me.

sudo xcode-select --reset

nope

Solved by this:

yum install postgresql-devel
cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres

With the hint from @kentkrantz, I solved my error on Fedora by

sudo dnf install postgresql-devel  #which installs libpq-devel actually

If you use Apple Computer ,You can try this command to install toolchain to fix this problem" xcode-select --install " , and if you use brew install Rust,Please uninstall Rust and then to install by
Rust Official installation guide ~

https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/254380/why-am-i-getting-an-invalid-active-developer-path-when-attempting-to-use-git-a

Run the command:
xcode-select --install

And if that still doesn't work:
xcode-select --reset

I received the same error with the following tag (after several printouts of local directories):

= note: xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun

Running the command: xcode-select --install did the trick.

Thank you!

Hi guys, try
sudo xcode-select --reset

worked for me.

thanks a lot

I just spent hours debugging something that was due, AGAIN, to this xcode not being up-to-date.

Anybody wants to suggest something to like, force xcode-select install to run every time I start my computer or periodically or...

If You are Mac user then try below command into terminal,
xcode-select --install

I have tried for Mac and now my rust is started using it.....

xcode-select --install

above repair will works fine... I have updated my os from 10.12 to 10.14 (Catalina) and I have started getting above problem, So to solve above issue use above command into terminal.....

thank you!

Because cargo install diesel_cli requires mysql/postgres/... is pre-installed
I Just install postgres, so just:

cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres

This is still happening after 3+ years

Hi, i try to build parity bitcoin and get this error.

They say to do:

  • cargo build -p pbtc

but i do just

  • cargo build

then i get this error. To solve i have to clean and make the right command.

  • cargo clean
  • cargo build -p pbtc

Getting the same error on Ubunutu 20.

I tried sudo apt install gcc-multilib but avail.

Trying cargo clean works but doing it before every cargo run or build is no viable solution as it takes around 25 minutes to build the project.

Hello
For Mac also help just install gcc - brew install gcc
In my case reinstall rustup and commands like xcode-select --install and xcode-select --reset did not help

Because cargo install diesel_cli requires mysql/postgres/... is pre-installed
I Just install postgres, so just:

cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres

Thanks!

This is not an error with Rust or Cargo (at least in my particular case). For me, it was about installing PostGres dev tools to compile diesel_cli with Postgres features.

The problem is that the compiler (or cargo) is not giving an informative error message.

In my case for Ubuntu 20 and mysql I did:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features mysql

I did.

=> Xcode-select --install
Xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates

then

=> sudo xcode-select -switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

sudo xcodebuild -license worked for me on MacOS.

for me (on Ubuntu), referencing lstdc++ made the magic.

Passing RUSTFLAGS='-Clink-arg=-lstdc++' (or changing configs accordingly) along with cargo commands can help.

ubuntu 18 LTS
first add I --verbose
$ cargo build --verbose
after that i have notice (using command top) that cargo took all available resources,
so after that I add --jobs 1
$ cargo build --release --verbose --jobs 1
and then I get error about missing lib,
after installing missing lib it run without any problems

This is still happening after 3+ years

It's quite annoying to see the devs behind rust not fix this issue after 3+ years.

@porplax

It's quite annoying to see the devs behind rust not fix this issue after 3+ years.

That's not surprising considering that the issue is closed for 5+ years.

If you have similar issues (and "linking with cc failed" can appear for numerous reasons), please make a new issue with a reproduction.

in my case it was due to OpenSSL

sudo apt-get -y install gcc-multilib pkg-config libssl-dev
cargo clean
cargo run

also having this issue on ubuntu 20.04.

I am on Ubuntu 20.04, and I got the same error when I did:

cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres

So, I installed postgres following the instruction, then I did:

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

and it fixed my problem.

I was able to fix it by installing libxcb-shape0-dev. Looks like this is related to a library issue. A better error message would be nice.

Thank you very much!

I'm on Manjaro and was having this issue while executing this command:
cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features "postgres"
But installing the postgresql package fixed it:
sudo pacman -S postgresql

I'm on Mac Catalina 10.15 and try every solution and the working one is:

sudo xcode-select --reset
cargo clean
cargo build
