Error installing gem on Ubuntu Servor

[lmX2015]

Hey,
I tried to install the gem on an Ubuntu server in order to run ethereum.rb.
But I got an error. This is the console report

sudo gem install digest-sha3
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing digest-sha3:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:

make failed, exit code 2

It seems the command fprintf(intermediateValueFile, text); in intermediateValues.c does not precise the type of text variable thus raises a warning and stops the compiler (Ubuntu has not been compiling with such warning since some recent update).

Would simply remplace fprintf(intermediateValueFile, "%s", text) fix the issue ?

@lmX2015 Hello
I'm currently facing the same issue. Have you been able to resolve it?

[se3000]

@lmX2015 have you tested your proposed fix?

[jezhiggins]

Hi, I hit this error today and confirm @lmX2015's fix is correct.

I pulled down the gem, unpacked it all, applied the fix, repacked the gem, and then installed that. Everything went through, and all appears to be working correctly.

[jezhiggins]

I was going to bash together a pull request, but somebody's already done it - PR 8
#8
has this fix.

Added this to my Gemfile and it worked on ubuntu:

git "https://github.com/izetex/digest-sha3-ruby" do
gem 'digest-sha3'
end

Thanks @izetex !

[mtomov]

Thank you @alex-kampa !

bundle config build.digest-sha3 --with-cflags="-Wno-format-security"

before bundle install

If @hardywu answer did not work, and you still face cc1 (tigerlake) error, try updating gcc and g++
sudo apt install gcc-10 g++-10

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-10 100 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-10 --slave /usr/bin/gcov gcov /usr/bin/gcov-10

sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
