Gvmd install: No package 'libgvm_base' found on version 22.4

Zargos · August 23, 2022, 4:00pm

hi,
i’m trying to build gvm but it is failing all the time.
I know there was previous topic on this, but i’ve tried everything stated in these topics without any success.

GVM versions

gsad: not installed
gvmd: failed install
openvas-scanner: not installed
**gvm-libs:**successfully installed

Environment

Operating system: Debian 11 Bullseye
Kernel: Linux dsrvvas01 5.10.0-17-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.136-1 (2022-08-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux
**Installation method / source:**Building 22.4 from Source - Greenbone Community Documentation

Environment variables

$PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig
$GVMD_VERSION=22.4.0
$GVM_LIBS_VERSION=22.4.0
$GVM_VERSION=22.4.0

gvm-libs was compiled and installed correctly. I’m following the above link line by line to the point.
Whatever i try i got the following messages with the cmake:

@Zargos I think something related to threads library is missing?

check that all packages are really installed?

Eero

Zargos · August 23, 2022, 4:45pm

Already done, all lib are installed. libc dev etc…

Eero · August 23, 2022, 5:42pm

@Zargos it should work. try installing build-essential package…

Eero

Zargos · August 23, 2022, 8:58pm

Already done too…

Eero · August 24, 2022, 10:07am

@Zargos your system is missing pthread support. I am still sure that documentation is correct.

Eero

bricks · August 24, 2022, 10:15am

IMHO there is something wrong with your build environment. The build of gvm-libs should already have failed if pthread is mssing.

I didn’t say the documentation is not correct. It is correct, but perhaps there is something missing somewhere (regarding debian)

@bricks there is some lib available in debian, but i don’t know which one could be usefull:

libclthreads-dev/stable 2.4.2-1 amd64
POSIX threads C++ access library (development files)

libclthreads2/stable 2.4.2-1 amd64
POSIX threads C++ access library (shared library)

libevent-pthreads-2.1-7/stable 2.1.12-stable-1 amd64
Asynchronous event notification library (pthreads)

libghc-threads-dev/stable 0.5.1.6-4+b1 amd64
Fork threads and wait for their result

libghc-threads-doc/stable 0.5.1.6-4 all
Fork threads and wait for their result; documentation

libghc-threads-prof/stable 0.5.1.6-4+b1 amd64
Fork threads and wait for their result; profiling libraries

I’ve tried all that i had seen but none change anything.

Eero · August 24, 2022, 3:58pm

@Zargos Well. what configuration of debian you installed? minimal or normal?

Eero

Zargos · August 24, 2022, 4:00pm

Minimal added with system utilities and SSH server, build-essential, linux-headers, all thread libraries.

@Zargos your system is missing shared libraries for pthreads, not headers (.h) files or the search path does not contain needed path.

you can use strace to find that files linker (ld) is looking for.

Correct me if i’m wrong but the pthread hints could be misleading:

It was actually found correctly in the provided output – Looking for pthread_create in pthread - found
I’m getting the same errors in CMakeError.log of gvmd when building it but the build is still successful. The errors itself looks more like that these are originating from the previous Performing Test CMAKE_HAVE_LIBC_PTHREAD and Looking for pthread_create in pthreads which are failing and which seems to be expected
The actual error why the build of gvmd is failing is because cmake can’t find the installation of gvm-libs (No package ‘libgvm_base’ found)

For now i would focus on why the cmake build of gvmd isn’t finding the gvm-libs installation, e.g.:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH not correctly configured
Build of gvm-libs was successful but the make install (means copying it to the correct path) failed or the installation was done to the wrong path
…

Hi,

The VM used is highly secured, and one of the modified config files is impacting the build.
Using a non secured installation of Debian is working well, thus i have to find which config file or parameter is impacting.
It takes time as i have to redo the installation media and reinstall with it then test the build.
i’ll get back to you all (thanks for help) when i’ll find the threat

Lukas · August 25, 2022, 9:33am

And putting a build environment is not securing your VM at all. Should should think about separating build and production if you really care about security.

Zargos · August 25, 2022, 12:31pm

All my VM are automatically secured that way. I’ve created my own installation media (using simple-cdd).
this Vm is just a test for now. As all builds will be completed, i’ll use only the install files to create a correct production VM and the other won’t be used anymore.

Anyway this VM is not to be UP all the time, it will be used from time to time only. server will be shutdown when not used.

Eero · August 25, 2022, 1:19pm

well. your hardened images can lead incorrect scanning results.

as hardenings can block test from working.

Please use normal debian without special settings…

Eero

Zargos · August 27, 2022, 12:43pm

It was the umask in /etcprofile and /etc/bash.bashrc.

It was setup as umask 027
Bu in /etc/login.defs it was setup as 022.

That was the cause of the error And i stay with my hardened install
