"/bin/bash: clang: command not found" on OSX 11

[lwaldron]

I'm currently unable to install packages requiring compiled C code when using my bulker (0.6.0) scripts on macOS Big Sur 11.1. I noticed the problem just after my recent upgrade to macOS 11, but can't guarantee that's when the problem started. Here is an example:

% R -e 'BiocManager::install("S4Vectors")'

I can fix the problem by getting rid of the " --user=$(id -u):$(id -g)" line in my bulker script, e.g. the following completes normally:

grep -v user `which R` > Rtest 
./Rtest -e 'BiocManager::install("S4Vectors")'

Here is my bulker R script (from the waldronlab/bioconductor bulker crate):

% cat `which R`                                 
#!/bin/sh

docker run --rm --init \
  -it --volume=/Users/lwaldron/R/bioc-release:/usr/local/lib/R/host-site-library -e DISABLE_AUTH=true -p 8787:8787 -v /Users/lwaldron:/home/rstudio \

FWIW, there is a host clang installation, which isn't in the PATH after entering a bulker shell:

clang still isn't in the PATH when removing the --user flag, even though I can now compile packages, which I don't understand. It's also not in the path when repeating on my Linux machine, even though I have no problems there.

Just FYI, other than my username being root and home directory being / while invoking docker without the --user flag, file permissions seem to be handled correctly as the host user. Happy to give you remote access to my macOS machine if it'll help.

[lwaldron]

Also, I noticed that my little hack of getting rid of the --user flag doesn't help for my rstudio-server command from the waldronlab/bioconductor crate, which doesn't contain the user flag but nonetheless has the same clang problem:

waldronlab/metagenomics|~ % cat `which rstudio-server`
#!/bin/sh

docker run --rm --init \
  --volume=/Users/lwaldron/R/bioc-release:/usr/local/lib/R/host-site-library -e DISABLE_AUTH=true -p 8787:8787 -v /Users/lwaldron:/home/rstudio \
  --env "DISPLAY" \
  --volume "$HOME:$HOME" \
  --workdir="`pwd`" \
  waldronlab/bioconductor:release   "$@"%                   

[nsheff]

Hmm, is it just a case of needing to not map the user? Are you using no_user mode?

https://bulker.databio.org/en/latest/advanced_templates/

I don't quite understand the final thing about the rstudio-server one though, why that would matter...

[lwaldron]

I'm using the create directly from https://github.com/databio/hub.bulker.io/blob/master/waldronlab/bioconductor.yaml, so I guess that's why the user mapping isn't present in my rstudio-server bulker script? Here's the full diff on those scripts:

(oops, note, I had manually deleted the `--user`` flag from the R script above)

[nsheff]

This seems like some kind of problem with clang in the waldronlab/bioconductor:release image

You could just add no_user to that image's settings in your bulker config. That solves the first problem just so you don't have to remove --user manually. But, then it will only work on MacOS, right? And it doesn't seem to really solve the underlying issue...

Because I can't explain why behavior is different when you use rstudio-server. That's the same image... so I guess to me this seems like a problem with the image that it outside of bulker. I mean, can you install stuff in that image just using straight-up docker? That's the issue to solve here. I think the user thing gives some kind of a hint that it may have to do with permissions or file locations or something. Unfortunately, I have no experience with clang.
