Hi @shannonantony,

Currently we don't support AlmaLinux, Does this happen to you for other OSs as well?

[shannonantony]

Having the same problem in centos as well.
Can you please send the steps to compile from source? What are the packages needed?

thanks

Jay

@shannonantony
Please run make setup VERBOSE=1 to get better logs. What is the error you're getting?

You can also take a look how we build and compile for different platforms in our GHA workflows.

How do I build from source? The repo seems to be missing cmake files. It refers to str_from_env and include(deps/readies/cmake/main) neither of which exist.

sbin/setup fails as well.

$ VERBOSE=1 sbin/setup 
sbin/setup: line 7: RediSearch/deps/readies/shibumi/defs: No such file or directory
sbin/setup: line 11: RediSearch/deps/readies/bin/getpy3: No such file or directory
sbin/setup: line 12: get_profile_d: command not found

Possible bug in sbin/setup...

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "RediSearch/sbin/system-setup.py", line 15, in <module>
    class RediSearchSetup(paella.Setup):
AttributeError: module 'paella' has no attribute 'Setup'

@hoyhoy Have you pulled and updated all submodules?

[hoyhoy]

It looks like the Makefile should do it, but it didn't. After that didn't work, I ran the submodule import manually, and then the build after that corrupted my local bash profile. Looked to write out a ~/.bash_profile, and when that loaded it deleted my .bash_history. Thankfully I have backups, my bash_history is over ten years old and 100,000 lines long! It appears that RediSearch isn't compatible with macos and SIP due to needing root access not to mention corrupting user space.
