Hi there! We don't use GitHub for support, so you can instead join our discord and check out the #developer-support channel https://discord.gg/9xkMfbfu

There isn't much information in your screenshot, but issues like this often are due to an old version of Rust. Try upgrading to the latest stable, 1.57 currently, and try again.

I have the same issue

Installed Solana tools 9.0 and rust 1.57

@pierorolando1 could you please share how you solve this issue, thnaks.

@grglzrv I was trying to do that in a Digital Ocean Cluster, I don't know why but it was not working, later, I try to do the same thing in my linux personal computer (Arch Linux), and works, I recommend u to tried the same thing in a virtual box or in docker container

I used AWS ec2 VM - Ubuntu version 20.04.3 LTS (Focal Fosa) free tier, @joncinque could you please check out this issue, the problem is not resolved yet. Thanks.

Same for me. also on digitalocean Ubuntu 20

Looks to be a RAM issue, based on an issue in their repo: paritytech/libsecp256k1#94

I tried this again on a blank Docker container running Ubuntu 20.04 and was able to compile everything, which leads me to believe this issue.

[grglzrv]

@joncinque I don't think that is the actual issue, you may use VM by Linode with 1Gb RAM with Ubuntu 21.10 and you gonna see that everything will be compiled correctly, Your test with docker container, the image uses your kernel, etc., you may test it with real VM with Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 21.10 with 1GB RAM then you gonna see that the compilation will pass.

@grglzrv Sorry, I'm still not able to reproduce this anywhere. I just tried on a raspberry pi and it worked there too (albeit after a long wait). Either way, until there's something concrete, let's take this discussion to discord, where it will be much easier to respond

[grglzrv]

@joncinque I have tried on raspberry pi 4gb with docker image - ubuntu:21.10 but i got failed to install solana tools, i was not able to installed it on rasp pi, could you please share your steps how you install it.

[grglzrv]

You don't need the Solana tools to install the CLI, just Rust. So my steps were:

$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
$ source $HOME/.cargo/env
$ cargo instal spl-token-cli

This was a machine with curl, pkg-config, and libudev-dev.

Separately, if you're on a Raspberry Pi, you'll have to compile the CLI yourself from https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/tree/master/cli, since we don't provide the tools for arm yet. That's where that most recent failure is from.

[grglzrv]

I gonna try to compile Solana tools on rasp pi 4 now.

I just installed everything with success but by the binary files.

wget https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/releases/download/v1.9.0/solana-release-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
tar -xvf solana-release-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

echo 'export PATH="/root/solana-release/bin:$PATH"' >> .profile

exit 

# login again

~# solana --version
solana-cli 1.9.0 (src:7782d34b; feat:378846963)
~# spl-token --version
spl-token-cli 2.0.15

But when i set this
solana config set --url http://api.devnet.solana.com

I got 0 SOL

If I set:
solana config set --url https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com
I got my SOL

What's the diff between those 2 URLs?

[joncinque]

They are different clusters, more info about them here: https://docs.solana.com/cluster/rpc-endpoints

I'm going to lock this issue now since it's getting off-topic, please come to Discord and chat
