Reason: rtop Fatal error: exception Fl_package_base.No_such_package("threads.posix", "required by `utop'")

[taigua]

My environment:
OS: Debian sid 64bit
nodejs: 8.9.3
npm: 5.6.0

I install reason through:

$ npm install -g https://github.com/reasonml/reason-cli/archive/3.0.4-bin-linux.tar.gz

After installation:

$ refmt --version
Reason 3.0.4 @ 731e605
$ ocamlmerlin -version
The Merlin toolkit version 2.5.4, for Ocaml 4.02.3

It seems OK. But when I use rtop, it complains:

$ rtop
Fatal error: exception Fl_package_base.No_such_package("threads.posix", "required by `utop'")
$ utop
Fatal error: exception Fl_package_base.No_such_package("threads.posix", "required by `utop'")

May anyone help? Thanks.

I've tried and was able to repro, also ocamlfind list is missing threads.posix.

I've tried to build a new release on Linux using [email protected] and it worked well. @jordwalke is that a problem with a host you've used to build a Linux release?

[jordwalke]

@andreypopp Can repro as well. I used esy version 0.52 to build that release. Did anything change with stublibs that might have effected thing (since fixed in the latest releases)?

[andreypopp]

Not sure if it relates to stublibs — ocamlfind list just doesn't list threads.posix.

I've tried to build a release on Linux image from Travis using [email protected] and it worked correctly.

[jordwalke]

I pushed a new release for linux. Not sure what went wrong during the last release. It seems to work for me now. Let me know if you see different.

@jordwalke, Thanks for help. but it still complained:

$ rtop
Fatal error: exception Fl_package_base.No_such_package("threads.posix", "required by `utop'")
$ utop
Fatal error: exception Fl_package_base.No_such_package("threads.posix", "required by `utop'")

It's wired, so I rolled back to v3.0.1. It works well.
Thanks all the same.

[jordwalke]

That's strange because I could repro, then I fixed it and with my fix I could not repro so it makes me think I actually fixed it. Can you try npm remove -g reason-cli then reinstalling?

[taigua]

I tried to remove it through npm remove -g reason-cli, but it complained:

npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found: reason-cli@^3.0.1

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /root/.npm/_logs/2017-12-16T08_31_33_998Z-debug.log

May be due to reason-cli not on npmjs (I guess)
So I removed it manually by

$ rm -rf /usr/lib/node_modules/reason-cli

And then

$ npm install -g https://github.com/reasonml/reason-cli/archive/3.0.4-bin-linux.tar.gz
$ rtop
Fatal error: exception Fl_package_base.No_such_package("threads.posix", "required by `utop'")

Still broken. :(

I can confirm this. Upgraded to 3.0.4 and this is broken

[jordwalke]

We have discovered the issue. We will make a new release soon which addresses it. cc @andreypopp

[jordwalke]

Could you please try again when you get a chance? I just pushed a fix.
Make sure to npm remove -g reason-cli before reinstalling.

[thangngoc89]

How do I do it? There is no new releases in reason-cli

[jordwalke]

@thangngoc89 It's the same release version/link. I just updated it. So uninstall npm remove -g reason-cli and then reinstall according to the instructions.

[thangngoc89]

Oh. Sneaky. Will install it when I come back to computer

[taigua]

@jordwalke Oh yeah, it works. Awesome.
Thank you, Jordan. You're very nice.
Please close this issue.
