Got a problem today with CMake Error at lib/xpp/CMakeLists.txt:70 (message): Missing required python module: xcbgen, even if I got xcb-proto.

While using pyenv, I resolved this problem by using: pyenv global system.

To solve the libjsoncpp issue you need to recompile polybar (particularly re-link). The easiest way to do that is to use a fresh clone of this AUR repo and run makepkg there. It is probably also possible with your AUR helper by telling it to remove existing build files (or deleting them yourself).

@victorz a clean installation will solve the issue. If it didn't for you, you likely reused an already compiled polybar executable when building the package.

For problems with conda, simply "conda deactivate", it will install. No need to purge path or remove anaconda.

To ensure a clean build use the --cleanbuild argument

@Swizz when you build using makepkg use these arguments

makepkg --syncdeps --rmdeps --clean --install --cleanbuild

or the short version

makepkg -srciC

@Swizz I run yay with --removemake

Each time I do an upgrade of polybar it comes with i3-wm as it is in the makedepends. However, it stay on my system and my DM wants to use it as WM. How you guys manage/remove this behavior ?

@banachtarski So there is definitely something weird with your python installation. Is `python3` actually using `/usr/bin/python3` or something else? You should probably also verify that `xcb-proto` is not corrupted: `pacman -Qk xcb-proto`

@patrick96 I get "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xcbgen'

I see the comments saying people addressed it with "pyenv global system." Thing is, I don't even have or use pyenv. Everything should just be vanilla pacman packages.

Was able to install using a clean chroot. Not sure what caused Sphinx instl to corrupt, but I am back up an running. Thanks!

@banachtarski I'm guessing there is something wrong with you python or xcb-proto installation. What does the following command output: python3 -c "import re,xcbgen;print(re.compile('/xcbgen/__init__.py.*').sub('',xcbgen.__file__))"

banachtarski commented on 2020-07-23 20:24

@patrick96 I don't have a custom python installation and do not use python for day-to-day development. Everything is installed through pacman I believe. Is there anything else you can think of that might be the cause of the issue?

patrick96 commented on 2020-07-23 19:42

@Sherlock Then it's an issue with your sphinx installation and not with polybar

Sherlock commented on 2020-07-23 19:38

@patrick96 - I ran sphinx-build and it gave the same error.
