Crashing on install at /usr/local/Cellar/virt-manager/1.5.1/libexec/bin/pip install

Here's the whole error and install log. I already had some of the dependencies installed.

I'm not sure exactly where the problem is. Is this a python conflict? Should I try uninstalling all of my homebrew python versions?

[HowellBP]

Side note, I tried going to the location of the code in question, but since brew does cleanup, the /usr/local/Cellar/virt-manager directory gets deleted after things blow up.

Here's the actual error in the log file:

I thought it might be related to #90 but it doesn't appear to be, it's not an unsigned long long, it's a "char **". No idea what that is, and can't find anything useful on Google.

[HowellBP]

Confirmed that updating libvirt-python to 4.4.0 solves the issue. I modified virt-manager.rb with the new versionand SHA256 and the install worked properly.

[RoniLevin]

I have the issue with char**, but for some reason the the libvirt being downloaded is 4.2.0 instead of 4.4.0.

==> python -c import setuptools... --no-user-cfg install --prefix=/tmp/virt-manager--homebrew-virtualenv-20180610-78181-q6nwrl/target --single-version-externally-managed --record=installed.txt
==> python -s /tmp/virt-manager--homebrew-virtualenv-20180610-78181-q6nwrl/target/bin/virtualenv -p python /usr/local/Cellar/virt-manager/1.5.1/libexec
==> Downloading https://libvirt.org/sources/python/libvirt-python-4.2.0.tar.gz

any idea why?

[sandalle]

I just installed this tap today and still have this issue, with the same note as @RoniLevin that it's still installing libvirt-python 4.2.0 instead of 4.4.0 as mentioned in https://github.com/renegaderyu/homebrew-virt-manager/commit/623e775e19de99d00e6c76bcde894fff8f5697e2 .

When I check my local clone (cloned today) of https://github.com/jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager , virt-manager.rb is only up to commit d35810c for refreshing to 4.2.0. If I run brew edit virt-manager and manually make the changes from https://github.com/renegaderyu/homebrew-virt-manager/commit/623e775e19de99d00e6c76bcde894fff8f5697e2 , installation works. :)

[RoniLevin]

I can confirm @sandalle solution fixed the problem. Thanks!

[odyssey4me]

Agreed, works like a charm! Thanks!

[falfaro]

Works like a charm for me too. Can we please merge renegaderyu/homebrew-virt-manager into master?

[jeffreywildman]

Merged, thanks!
