grpc: gRPC does not compile on Mac OS Catalina (10.15.6), Big Sur (11.0.1)

What version of gRPC and what language are you using?

Several versions of gRPC are used, and this error is reproduced in all of them:

  • 1.27.1
  • 1.33.2
  • 1.34.0-dev0 (from the nightly build channel) This problem has been observed with the following Python versions:
  • Python 2.7.0
  • Python 3.8.2
  • Python 3.9.0

What operating system (Linux, Windows,…) and version?

This problem is observed in both macOS Catalina (10.15.6) and macOS Big Sur (11.0.1).

What runtime / compiler are you using (e.g. python version or version of gcc)

For macOS Catalina:

Python 3.8.5 (default) 
[Clang 6.0 (clang-600.0.57)] on darwin

For macOS Big Sur:

Python 3.9.0 (default) 
[Clang 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.31.1)] on darwin

What did you do?

Several approaches, trying to observe or correct the problem itself. It was first discovered when installing kubemq, a library that has grpcio as a direct dependency. Then, the problem arises when installing it, either by poetry (which uses pip) or directly by pip:

  1. poetry install kubemq Or directly,
  2. poetry install grpcio This problem evidently arises the same, if using pip, as mentioned above.

What did you expect to see?

A successful installation of either kubemq, or grpcio.

What did you see instead?

Here is the full error message, plus the stack trace:

Anything else we should know about your project / environment?

Insofar as I have observed, the key here is the LSEEK complaint: I presume Clang tries to execute zlib code that is not compliant with proper C99 expression.

As a proposal, to solve this problem temporarily would be to pass a Wnoimplicit-function-declaration as a C flag during compilation to ignore this issue, and then further address the offending section on zlib in the future.

Finally made it work by running:

pip install wheel && GRPC_BUILD_WITH_BORING_SSL_ASM="" GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_RE2=true GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_OPENSSL=true GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_ZLIB=true pip install grpcio

I’m very tired now, so to be honest the only thing I did was just copy-pasting every env variable from every issue I found ☺️. Main references: #24248 #24449

For me:

brew install openssl re2

I’m seeing similar issues with zlib on MacOS Big Sur

For me, all it took was a python -m pip install --upgrade pip to make it work.

@VagifMammadaliyev - I introduced another error with GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_RE2=true

The following works for me:

GRPC_BUILD_WITH_BORING_SSL_ASM="" GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_OPENSSL=true GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_ZLIB=true

@VagifMammadaliyev you are a hero!

One additional comment - i had to make sure my pip was up to date before the commend in https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/24677#issuecomment-729983060 worked for me.

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

On M1 ARM Mac it is possible to run into all kinds of issues. You must not use GNU binary utils or a version of Python built with the GNU binary utils. I had installed Python via pyenv which used the binary utils installed by homebrew. In the end here is what worked for me:

brew uninstall binutils
pyenv uninstall 3.9.4
pyenv install 3.9.4
GRPC_PYTHON_BUILD_SYSTEM_ZLIB=true pip3 install grpcio grpcio-tools

The easiest way to know whether you are using the wrong binary utils is to check the output of $(which ranlib) -V. If you are using the Apple provided binary utils as you should, you will see the following error (which is a good sign):

Apple Inc. version cctools-980
error: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/ranlib: no archives specified
Usage: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/ranlib [-sactfqLT] [-] archive [...]

Hope this helps someone!

I had a similar issue, my specific case being google-cloud-bigquery being unable to install grpcio using pipenv on Big Sur.

A quick fix that worked for me was running

export SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT=1

Afterwards, clang errors were no longer thrown and I was able to install grpcio and google-cloud-bigquery via pipenv. Not sure if this fix applies to the original issue but hope it helps!

The above didn’t work for me for whatever reason but, changing the macos version of the wheel worked for me:

Here i’m using 1.33.2 on cpython 3.8. FOr other versions, check out https://pypi.org/project/grpcio/1.33.2/#files

❯ curl -LOJ "https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/fb/4d/4b6146ed211a3211231b1253cfeb58818875b5b57a4622602d1b87e16f73/grpcio-1.33.2-cp38-cp38-macosx_10_9_x86_64.whl"
❯ mv grpcio-1.33.2-cp38-cp38-macosx_10_9_x86_64.whl grpcio-1.33.2-cp38-cp38-macosx_11_0_x86_64.whl
❯ pip install grpcio-1.33.2-cp38-cp38-macosx_11_0_x86_64.whl

This has been fixed on master and will be included in 1.39.0, which will be released a week from now.

I am also encountering these errors pertaining to zlib on Mac OS Big Sur. For the time being I was able to get around these build errors by making the following changes in my local zlib files:

  • In gzlib.c, change lseek (line 14) to fseek
  • In gzread.c, add #include <unistd.h> after line 6
  • In gzwrite.c, add #include <unistd.h> after line 6

This is a workaround and may have un-intended consequences.

Upgrading pip to 21.1.1 solved my issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10744.
