I'm encountering an error while trying to install a specific lean toolchain with elan. I'm not sure what could be happening, if this is a problem with elan, or if this is a user-error (and perhaps in need of documentation?).

Running:

elan toolchain install leanprover/lean4:v4.2.0-rc1

Results in

info: downloading component 'lean'
Error(Download(Msg("error during download")), State { next_error: Some(Error { description: "Couldn't resolve host name", code: 6, extra: Some("Could not resolve host: github.com") }), backtrace: InternalBacktrace { backtrace: None } })
error: could not download file from 'https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/releases/expanded_assets/v4.2.0-rc1' to '/home/joncrall/.elan/tmp/2ubd704ate32mmhf_file'
info: caused by: error during download
info: caused by: [6] Couldn't resolve host name (Could not resolve host: github.com)

However, I can ping github.com just fine.

Adding export RUST_BACKTRACE=1 results in

I installed elan with the following commands:

    # https://gist.github.com/jcommelin/1d45a0ea7a84a87db8a28a12e93cac32
    mkdir -p "$HOME"/tmp
    cd "$HOME"/tmp || return
    curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leanprover/elan/master/elan-init.sh -sSf > elan-init.sh
    chmod +x elan-init.sh
    ./elan-init.sh

Environment

Elan version:

@Erotemic, I'm going to guess this was a transient problem at github. If you can still reproduce a day later, could you ping here and we can look at it?

It is still failing. This might be some setting on my machine, but I can't think of what it would be. I have two machines with nearly the same setup, the main difference is one is running 2010 hardware (ooo) and another is running 2020 hardware (toothbrush). On both my machines, I moved the toolchain folder in ~/.elan to toolchain-old and reran:

On both elan toolchain list reports no installed toolchains, but when running:

elan toolchain install leanprover/lean4:v4.2.0-rc1

on ooo I get:

info: downloading component 'lean'
Error(Download(Msg("error during download")), State { next_error: Some(Error { description: "Couldn't resolve host name", code: 6, extra: Some("Could not resolve host: github.com") }), backtrace: InternalBacktrace { backtrace: None } })
error: could not download file from 'https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/releases/expanded_assets/v4.2.0-rc1' to '/home/joncrall/.elan/tmp/5e3yjgdnzdija3mx_file'
info: caused by: error during download
info: caused by: [6] Couldn't resolve host name (Could not resolve host: github.com)

and on toothbrush I get:

  leanprover/lean4:v4.2.0-rc1 unchanged - (toolchain not installed)

which I also found to be weird. I tried a variant:

 elan toolchain install leanprover/lean4:stable

which on toothbrush resulted in:

info: syncing channel updates for 'stable'
info: latest update on stable, lean version v4.1.0
info: downloading component 'lean'
179.2 MiB / 179.2 MiB (100 %)   7.8 MiB/s ETA:   0 s
info: installing component 'lean'

I'm not sure why stable worked, but v4.2.0-rc1 gave the unchanged message.

And on ooo I get:

note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

And with backtrace I get:

I don't know why the machines have different results. They are on the same network, and I tend to keep them in sync with each other. Both run ubuntu 22.04 and they ahve teh same elan version: elan 3.0.0 (cdb40bff5 2023-09-08). This also seems like a slightly different error than I originally reported. Any help debugging would be appreciated.

When trying to install a fresh elan installation I'm running into the same error.

It did install elan and other lean related programs, but it seems to me that it failed installing a toolchain. I can run lean now, but it just reports the following error:

error: no default toolchain configured. run `elan default stable` to install & configure the latest Lean 4 stable release.

Running the suggested command causes the original error again.

elan version: elan 3.0.0 (cdb40bff5 2023-09-08)

i'm having the same problem in Termux. but my problem is known. since elan is a statically linked binary that does networking stuff and Termux is not FHS compliant it can't resolve DNS names because /etc/resolv.conf doesn't exist in Termux. so every time i'm downloading something with elan i have to launch Termux's proot script for resolv.conf to be accessible. it would be nice if there were a dynamically linked glibc based elan binary for Linux/aarch64 like rustup. so we don't have to install slow Termux proot distros to use these tools.

sorry for my English.

@Erotemic probably you have DNS lookup problems like me. you see, i got the same error when i tried to download lean but when elan is pointed to the right resolv.conf using proot -b command it's working fine.

i'm hoping for the dynamically linked elan binary for Linux Arm64. glibc would deal with the DNS lookups. i guess.
