Struggling to install codon-jit on Linux

[SpaceAzur]

Hi,

I'm struggling installing codon-jit on Ubuntu 22.04.2

I have successfully installed codon
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://exaloop.io/install.sh)"

I have correctly update my PATH variable export PATH=/home/administrateur/.codon/bin:$PATH in my .bashrc

codon --version
0.16.0

As I want to install codon-jit, this is the error I get

➜  ~ sudo pip3 install codon-jit                              
Collecting codon-jit
  Using cached codon-jit-0.1.4.tar.gz (5.0 kB)
  Installing build dependencies ... done
  Getting requirements to build wheel ... error

      Cannot find Codon. Please either install Codon (/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://exaloop.io/install.sh)"), or set CODON_DIR if Codon is not in PATH or installed in ~/.codon
      [end of output]

As I red the doc, I shall need to set my CODON_PYTHON variable as well. The doc give an example on macOS.

export CODON_PYTHON=/path/to/libpython.X.Y.so
/usr/local/opt/python@3.9/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/libpython3.9.dylib

What is the equivalent for Linux. So many .so files in /usr/lib/python3. Which one is to be use to set the CODON_PYTHON variable. Is someone can help ?

in my docker file I use this

RUN apt install -y libpython3-dev
RUN /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://exaloop.io/install.sh)"
ENV CODON_PYTHON=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.10.so

Can you try doing CODON_PATH=$HOME/.codon pip install codon-jit?

Installing with sudo (not recommended, btw) probably breaks it because codon is not installed as root.

To find the libpythonX.Y.so that need to be set to the env variable CODON_PYTHON in Linux, you can run this small python script to find out:

import sysconfig
py_so_path = "/".join(sysconfig.get_config_vars('LIBDIR', 'INSTSONAME'))
print(py_so_path)
