I'm using MacOS Sierra and after run brew install hunspell and `pip install hunspell' I'm getting:

Could you try the given solution in that ticket: #26 (the last comment)
It's something I should update in the doc, but I didn't had time yet.

Thiago Locks · Answer 2 · Fri Sep 01 2017 03:17:47 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Thanks! It seems to work but when I import it on python cli it shows this message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

I'm using Python 2.7 not 3.

That's a completly new error to me… :(
Apparently you have installed hunspell since installation worked and it does find the .so but it does not find the add_with_affix method…
I don't find similar errors on the internet and I don't own any mac…

Are you stuck to python2 due to an integration to a project or can you move forward to python3? It's the perfect time! :)

I flag the issue with "help-needed" label but I cannot do much more for now.
If you have a way to reproduce this on a linux I'm up to it.

Hello,

I just managed to install pyhunspell on a clean macOS High Sierra by following these steps:

installed homebrew
installed python (in my case python2) from homebrew (brew install python)

update user path (make sure to be using pip and python from the home brew installation)

brew install hunspell (currently on version 1.6.2, so, adjusting the linking found on comment #26:)

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/hunspell/1.6.2/lib/libhunspell-1.6.0.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/hunspell/1.6.2/lib/libhunspell.dylib

CFLAGS=$(pkg-config --cflags hunspell) LDFLAGS=$(pkg-config --libs hunspell) pip install hunspell

-> no problem using hunspell

Hi,

This particular solution didn't work for me on Sierra I needed to modify the setup.py file with the mentioned flags.

I followed the same steps, installed homebrew, python, and hunspell then adjusted the linking with:

ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/hunspell/1.6.2/lib/libhunspell-1.6.0.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/hunspell/1.6.2/lib/libhunspell.dylib

After I cloned this repository I edited this part of the setup.py file like this:

else:
    main_module_kwargs['macros'] = [('_LINUX', None)]
    main_module_kwargs['libraries'] = ['hunspell']
    main_module_kwargs['include_dirs'] = '/usr/local/Cellar/hunspell/1.6.2/include/hunspell/',
    main_module_kwargs['compile_args'] = ['-Wall']
    cmd = ['./configure', '--disable-dependency-tracking', '--without-python', '--with-x=no', 'CFLAGS=$(pkg-config --cflags hunspell)','LDFLAGS=$(pkg-config --libs hunspell)' ]

Running this with
python setup.py install
solved the problem.

Kosta Blank · Answer 7 · Fri Oct 20 2017 11:24:06 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I have the same problem as @thiagolcks - "Expected in: flat namespace". Any solution to that?

LittleEntertainer · Answer 8 · Fri Nov 10 2017 18:17:14 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I get the same input error as @thiagolcks and @kosta-blank. Is there any other way to resolve this issue?

Mikkel Vilstrup · Answer 9 · Thu Nov 16 2017 18:52:39 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I'm experiencing the same problem, thiagolcks, kosta-blank and LittleEntertainer :)

Benoit Latinier · Answer 10 · Fri Nov 17 2017 09:08:36 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Still no mean for me to dig into that. (No Mac near me, and not happening in the near future I'm afraid)
@thiagolcks @kosta-blank @LittleEntertainer @MVilstrup did you tried the solutions provided by @gbrabelo and @valerK ? New errors? Working?

If anyone is finding a way to overcome this issue please comment here.

Mikhail Popov · Answer 11 · Sat Dec 09 2017 03:06:15 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Hello @blatinier et al.! So I tried solutions by @gbrabelo (partially, because I am using conda python3) and @valerK but to no success :(

Here's the output of a "successful" installation (on macOS High Sierra) via python setup.py install:

In the hope this is helpful, here are the commands through which I was able to successfully compile and run pyhunspell on OS X.

Environment:
OS X 10.11.6
Python 3.6.4 (installed via brew)
Hunspell 1.6.2 (installed via brew)

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libhunspell-1.6.2.a /usr/local/lib/libhunspell.a
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/hunspell/1.6.2/lib/libhunspell-1.6.0.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/hunspell/1.6.2/lib/libhunspell.dylib
CFLAGS=$(pkg-config --cflags hunspell) LDFLAGS=$(pkg-config --libs hunspell) pip3 install hunspell

After successful creation of pyhunspell, run brew prune as suggested by brew doctor

Testing that it works:

Did you create the links suggested (the ln -s commands)? And the post install brew commands?

Mikhail Popov · Answer 16 · Mon Jan 22 2018 08:11:31 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Yup! Sorry, I forgot to include that I created the symbolic links too. I think I ran the post install brew command at some point but I'll try again in the exact order.

kireet · Answer 17 · Fri Jan 26 2018 08:15:13 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I hit the same issue. I noticed this in the clang command -I/usr/include/hunspell and also that this directory doesn't exist and now /usr/include is on a read only file system. so i cloned this repo and edited install.py to add my hunspell install area to the include dirs:

    main_module_kwargs['include_dirs'] = '/usr/local/Cellar/hunspell/1.6.2/include/hunspell','/usr/local/include'

after this, hunspell seemed to work:

>>> import hunspell
>>> hobj = hunspell.HunSpell('/Library/Spelling/en_US.dic', '/Library/Spelling/en_US.aff')
>>> hobj.suggest('pyton')

Ok could some of you try to pip install using the issue33/MacOS-install branch?

kireet · Answer 19 · Wed Jan 31 2018 06:43:22 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

works for me. it might be nice to also check some environment variable for the hunspell directory (C_INCLUDE_PATH?) in case someone has a different version (and mention it in the mac install notes.

Ok it's merged in the master branch. I will publish on pypi soon.

Hi, does any one have any updates on the issue about the error:

Symbol not found: _ZN8Hunspell14add_with_affixERKSsS1

I have tried to get over this error by checking different versions of the hunspell library, installing with pip, and also compiling hte cloned repository myself ... but I was not able to get rid of the error.

Benoit Latinier · Answer 22 · Wed May 30 2018 21:19:45 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

pypi version was updated regarding this issue at the end of january.
You still encounter this problem?

If yes could you indicate your python version, macos version, hunspell version et full stacktraces?

Thanks, I get the problem with the following system:
Mac Os: 10.13.4
Python: 3.6.4 (Anaconda)
Hunspell: I have tried with 1.6.2., 1.3.4, and 1.4.1, currently installed version is 1.4.1

@(#) International Ispell Version 3.2.06 (but really Hunspell 1.4.0)

Compilation from the downloaded code works fine after correcting some links and updating main_module_kwargs['include_dirs'], though it generated some warnings.

Importing hunspell in ipython gives the following error:

ImportError: dlopen(/Users/jarenas/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/hunspell.cpython-36m-darwin.so, 2): Symbol not found: __ZN8Hunspell14add_with_affixERKSsS1_

I reopen the subject then, but I still don't own a Mac so troubleshooting this is not possible for me...

I have been facing the same error since the past week. And I finally found a hack that worked for me.

My initial system config was:
Mac Os: 10.13.4
Python: 3.6.5 (miniconda)
Hunspell: 1.6.2 (brew)

I tried all suggestions as mentioned in this thread, but they did not work. Clearly the .so file being generated while pip installing hunspell, was buggy. A colleague of mine, who wasn't using miniconda/anaconda, was able to import hunspell without issues following the install instructions mentioned in the above comments.

I decided to inspect the correct and the buggy .so file for clues. So I used otool -l on both individually and compared the outputs.

Buggy file had:

         name @rpath/libstdc++.6.dylib (offset 24)
   time stamp 2 Wed Dec 31 16:00:02 1969
      current version 7.19.0
compatibility version 7.0.0
Load command 9
          cmd LC_LOAD_DYLIB
      cmdsize 56
         name /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (offset 24)
   time stamp 2 Wed Dec 31 16:00:02 1969
      current version 1252.50.4
compatibility version 1.0.0
Load command 10
          cmd LC_LOAD_DYLIB
      cmdsize 80
         name /Users/sgosukonda/miniconda3/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (offset 24)
   time stamp 2 Wed Dec 31 16:00:02 1969
      current version 1.0.0
compatibility version 1.0.0

Correct file had:

         name /usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib (offset 24)
   time stamp 2 Wed Dec 31 16:00:02 1969
      current version 400.9.0
compatibility version 1.0.0
Load command 10
          cmd LC_LOAD_DYLIB
      cmdsize 56
         name /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (offset 24)
   time stamp 2 Wed Dec 31 16:00:02 1969
      current version 1252.50.4
compatibility version 1.0.0

The difference - correct .so file uses libc++.1.dylib while loading.

I removed miniconda and used brew installed python. That still did not solve the problem.

So finally, I cloned the pyhunspell repo and ran python setup.py develop and that generated the .so file in the path pyhunspell/build/lib.macosx-10.13-x86_64-3.6/hunspell.cpython-36m-darwin.so

This file had the same contents as the correct .so file and I replaced the buggy one with this. import hunspell success. (phew)

Like I mentioned before this is clearly a hack - if anyone can shed more light on how to ensure the .so file generated in a pip install should have libc++.1.dylib as the linked loader - I would much appreciate it.

zackarydunivin · Answer 26 · Fri Nov 09 2018 14:18:12 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@soumyagk I see why this solution should work, but I can't build a copy of the .so that references libc++.1.dylib instead of libstdc++.6.dylib. Could you share your file? It happens that my system config is nearly the same as yours.

I followed all the instructions that @valerK provided, but still had an error. Then I tried what @soumyagk recommended and got this error:

creating build/lib.macosx-10.14-intel-2.7
c++ -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -Wl,-F. build/temp.macosx-10.14-intel-2.7/hunspell.o -lhunspell -o build/lib.macosx-10.14-intel-2.7/hunspell.so
ld: library not found for -lhunspell
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
error: command 'c++' failed with exit status 1

It looks like it can't create the .so file that I need - and neither can I. These are the list of files I have:

libstdc++.6.0.9.dylib
libstdc++.6.dylib
libstdc++.dylib

Can anyone tell me how to manually create the .so file or any other advice? Thank you!

Soumya G · Answer 29 · Sat May 18 2019 01:58:59 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I can't remember now if I ran a different command from python setup.py develop to generate the .so file.
I have been using CyHunspell and it install with no errors: https://github.com/MSeal/cython_hunspell

Sam · Answer 30 · Sun Jun 30 2019 23:11:57 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

As suggested @workflowsguy I managed to install pyhunspell 0.5.5 from the latest version Hunspell (1.7.0) on Python 3.7.3 by running these commands:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libhunspell-1.7.a /usr/local/lib/libhunspell.a
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/hunspell/1.7.0_2/lib/libhunspell-1.7.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/hunspell/1.7.0_2/lib/libhunspell.dylib
CFLAGS=$(pkg-config --cflags hunspell) LDFLAGS=$(pkg-config --libs hunspell) pip3 install hunspell

Hope this helps.

@sam1902, these instructions failed with:

I should note that all other C extensions compile properly. Xcode tools are updated and everything.

Python 3.7.4 via homebrew
pip3 19.2.3 via homebrew
clean Python 3 virtualenv.
OSX Mojave 10.14.6

It's wild to me that libhunspell.a was pointing to the wrong thing and that libhunspell.dylib didn't exist in my install.

This might be due to Moajve: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode_release_notes/xcode_10_release_notes Has anyone gotten this to work on 10.14?

Evan Morikawa · Answer 32 · Wed Oct 02 2019 04:25:14 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I was able to fix this. I first needed to install XCode 11
I then needed to manually symlink a hardcoded OSX10.14.sdk to the latest SDK via:

ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk

I noticed this in my error message:

    Compiling with an SDK that doesn't seem to exist: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk
    Please check your Xcode installation

    clang: warning: no such sysroot directory: '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk' [-Wmissing-sysroot]

For some reason, it appeared to be looking for MacOSX10.14.sdk inside of /Applications/Xcode.app. I had previously not installed the full-blown XCode App (just command line tools). After installing Xcode 11, I successfully got the /Applications/Xcode.app folder; however, Xcode 11 installs MacOSX10.15.sdk instead of MacOSX10.14.sdk. As a hack around this, I symlinked the 10.14 SDKs to the 10.15 SDKs, and that appeared to work for the Hunspell compilation

Sam · Answer 33 · Wed Oct 02 2019 22:17:15 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@emorikawa this is a macOs 10.14 specific issue with XCode as you mentionned. Symlinking does fix it for me too, but this xcode update breaks many others pip packages too.
