thanks! but my problem is with the python lib libpython3.9.so.1.0, I haven't seen an answer about where it expects that link

This worked for me (under Arch Linux).

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libunistring.so.5 /usr/lib/libunistring.so.2

any chance you remember how you solved it? I'm having the same issue on ubuntu 24.04 and other threads haven't been helpful

I have the same issue. Can Nordic look into it and fix it properly?

Hi,

I just had the same issue on Arch Linux. This solution works.

For Fedora 41 I had to do the following.
sudo dnf install git-all # probably not required because git was working fine for me but just in case.

ln -sf /usr/lib64/libunistring.so.5 ~/ncs/toolchains/<tag/hash>/usr/lib/libunistring.so.2
ln -sf /usr/lib64/libcrypt.so.2 ~/ncs/toolchains/<tag/hash>/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1

Cheers!

For Ububtu 24.04 use

ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libunistring.so.5 toolchains/<toolchain_name>/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libunistring.so.2

And it's 11 month later, the vscode install SDK function still broken due to this exact same issue

RE: Toolchain Manager not installing all dependencies

Adam BZH — Sat, 07 Sep 2024 00:01:51 GMT

the root cause is nrf sdk tools install it's own binary version git instead of use the distro package version. I don't understand what's the point of this, the distro version works perfect fine.

If you need some special compile options for git, at least, build it while install

Same for pyhton, if you already listed git and python3 as dependency while in the installation steps, why download another version again?

And telling people change their system library to fix YOUR broken binary distribution is NOT ACCEPTABLE

Actually just saw that libpython3.9.so.1.0 is included in the toolchain, but somehow it's not found when running the executable.

RE: Toolchain Manager not installing all dependencies

There is a similar issue with python3. When running the west build command I get a missing libpython3.9.so.1.0 error. I don't have python version 3.9 installed so this library is not available.

If you are going to package all the tools like this and even bundle the python interpreter, it would be wise to include the required libraries as well.

Not really a proper solution, because different major versions of library can have different API, so pretending they are the same is questionable.

They (Nordic) seem to supply most of needed libraries in toolchain directory (a'la docker), but missed few:

    libcrypt.so.1 => not found

Missing are libunistring.so.2 and libcrypt.so.1 (fresh Arch linux).

Few are mapping to system-wide installed libraries.

What's interesting, they expect different versions of libunistring: 2 & 5 in parallel:

    libunistring.so.5 => /usr/lib/libunistring.so.5 (0x00007f4339c46000)
    libunistring.so.2 => not found

So, when supplying all the tools in toolchain directory, there are few more things to supply and clean.

Hi Albertbayazidi,

I just had the same issue on my Manjaro Linux.

Your machine is missing the file libunistring.so.2. The following creates a symbolic link from libunistring.so.5.

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libunistring.so.5 /usr/lib/libunistring.so.2

Best regards,
Ben
