Rocksdb: Error: Compression type Snappy is not linked with the binary

[kumasento]

Hi I'm facing an error which is: Compression type Snappy is not linked with the binary.

I got this error while running the simple_example in the examples/ directory. I simply built this by using make simple_example. However, this program failed at the s.ok() assertion. So I followed the instruction in the wiki to find out what had happened. With s.ToString(), I've got the error message listed previously.

It seems that I haven't got this library, so I've built it again with this option:

options.compression = kNoCompression;

But still, that error message showed up again..

Thanks for your help!

Can you please install snappy library before compiling RocksDB? This should be pretty simple. For example, if you're running Ubuntu, you just have to call: sudo apt-get install libsnappy-dev

Hi @igorcanadi Your idea works, thanks a lot. :+1:

I make a rocksdb shared library for golang use, I want to use LZ4 compression. But it said Invalid argument: Compression type LZ4 is not linked with the binary.

I execute make liblz4.a, It still show this message.

lz4 lz4-devel needed by rocksdb . But the document do not mention it

The issue is resolved after i update the version of libsnappy

@yinyi26 which version did you update to ?

Why the same issue occurs?

When I test with ./db_bench --benchmarks="fillsync"

open error: Invalid argument: Compression type Snappy is not linked with the binary.

I have already installed the snappy, but it does not work.

Some one could help me figure out ?

Thanks

Finally, I address the issue by upgrading the snappy verison. If you have the same problem, you can also solve that.
libsnappy-dev_1.1.7 is required.
