cmake undefined symbol archive_write_add_filter_zstd

User_IWJFB

I started a free 4-core ARM instance on OCI.

I used Oracle Linux, according to the OCI web page it uses:

 Oracle-Linux-8.3-aarch64-2021.05.12-0

I logged in and installed cmake using the command:

sudo yum install cmake

When I try to run cmake I get the following error:

cmake: symbol lookup error: cmake: undefined symbol: archive_write_add_filter_zstd

Here is the output from ldd /usr/bin/cmake

Hello.

I had the same problem as you have described.

There is a bug in cmake. You can fix it via upgrade (or downgrade - not preferred).

Best regards.

================

Problem:

# oraclelinux:8

$ dnf install cmake

$ cmake --version

   cmake: symbol lookup error: cmake: undefined symbol: archive_write_add_filter_zstd

Solution:

* upgrade

    You can install the latest stable version from the official cmake source code repository - https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake, which already have a fix for your problem.

   Remove existing cmake:

   $ dnf remove cmake

   Download newer cmake:

    # Download cmake for your aarch64 architecture from https://cmake.org/download/

    $ curl -LOJ https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/download/v3.20.3/cmake-3.20.3-linux-aarch64.tar.gz

   $ tar -xzf cmake-3.20.3-linux-aarch64.tar.gz

   Run cmake:

   $ ./cmake-3.20.3-linux-aarch64/bin/cmake --version

       cmake version 3.20.3

* downgrade - not preferred

   Downgrade from cmake-3.18.2-9.el8 (currently, this is the default version) to cmake-3.11.4-7.el8.

   List available versions:

   $ dnf --showduplicate list cmake

       Available Packages

       cmake.src        3.11.4-3.el8   ol8_appstream

       cmake.x86_64     3.11.4-3.el8   ol8_appstream

       cmake.src        3.11.4-7.el8   ol8_appstream

       cmake.x86_64     3.11.4-7.el8   ol8_appstream

       cmake.src        3.18.2-9.el8   ol8_appstream

       cmake.x86_64     3.18.2-9.el8   ol8_appstream

   Remove existing cmake:

   $ dnf remove cmake

   Install older version of cmake:

   $ dnf install cmake-3.11.4-7.el8

   Run cmake:

   $ cmake --version

       cmake version 3.11.4

Yep, AFAIR the problem could also be solved by upgrading or installing libarchive.

I do confirm that it can be solved with "dnf install libarchive" as well. Thanks.
