Trouble building pyYAML about pyyaml HOT 6 CLOSED

So, there are lots of warnings generated by Cython about stuff but the root of the problem is that /usr/local/osquery/bin/ld cannot find libyaml. Libyaml is optional for PyYAML so I suspect there's something up with homebrew

from pyyaml.

I did and had the same issue. This only happened on one machine.
Maybe we should consider closing this and if someone else can reproduce this issue we'll revisit the problem.

Okay, this is weird. There's also indications that this is happening on linux but Cellar is typically something I see with homebrew. Also, there's compile output from osquery's C extensions and Cython interleaved which is making this hard to figure out. Further, we check to see if we can link libyaml before building our Cython extension (I thought) so we shouldn't get to this point unless we can link it.

from pyyaml.

Homebrew has a linux port called Linuxbrew. The build system for OSQuery uses Linuxbrew on Linux.
OSQuery initializes it's own Cellar to install it's dependencies and isolate them from the rest of the system.
I have only one machine that reproduces this problem. I bought a new computer on which the linking error does not occur.

from pyyaml.

Aha. I didn't know about Linuxbrew and I didn't know that OSQuery did that. Have you tried removing the Cellar for OSQuery and retrying? I haven't seen this error before and don't presently have time to attempt to reproduce.

from pyyaml.

Sounds like a plan.
