Outdated version of downstream sharp-phash

[VySellathurai]

Are you using the latest version? Is the version currently in use as reported by npm ls sharp the same as the latest version as reported by npm view sharp dist-tags.latest?
I use the lib [email protected] that use [email protected]

What are the steps to reproduce?
This lib works perfectly well on classical AWS processor but I tried to run my code on AWS Graviton with ARM Neoverse 64 bits and I face this exception :

Input buffer contains unsupported image format

• Note that I install libvips v8.9.1 in global

The code of sharp-phash is trying to use sharp on image as you can see :

module.exports = async function phash(image, opts = { sharp: sharp }) {
  const data = await opts.sharp(image)

source code

Are you able to provide a minimal, standalone code sample, without other dependencies, that demonstrates this problem?
No

Are you able to provide a sample image that helps explain the problem?
No

What is the output of running npx envinfo --binaries --system?

npx envinfo --binaries --system
npx: installed 1 in 3.953s

  System:
    OS: Linux 4.18 CentOS Linux 8

Questions / Notes

• Do you have any clue about what's going on ?
• Is there any chance to run Sharp on AWS Graviton with ARM Neoverse 64 bits ?
• I'm guessing that this line of code in your lib is the origin of the problem : https://github.com/lovell/sharp/blob/master/src/common.cc#L260

Thank you for your time

Hi, did you mean to ask this question on the sharp-phash repo, which is a downstream consumer of sharp?

I recommend you upgrade to the latest sharp-phash, which specifies sharp as a peer dependency, then add the latest v0.29.1 of sharp to your package.json.

Hi,
Thank you for your response.

I open an issue on sharp-phash repo : btd/sharp-phash#10

I tested your recommendation :

• [email protected]
• I set [email protected] in the resolutions part of my package.json
• I set libvips 8.11.3 globally
• I'm using node 14

I still facing the same problem

[lovell]

Are you able to reproduce this using only sharp (i.e. without phash) and without a globally-installed libvips?

[VySellathurai]

I have just tested the installation without installing libvips globally (with sharp-phase) and i'm facing this error log :

Command: (node install/libvips && node install/dll-copy && prebuild-install) || (node install/can-compile && node-gyp rebuild && node install/dll-copy)\nArguments: \nDirectory: /home/centos/xxxx/xxx/node_modules/sharp\nOutput:\nsharp: Installation error: Use with glibc 2.28 requires manual installation of libvips >= 8.11.3

I'm trying right now to test with only sharp. I will come back to you later

[VySellathurai]

Hi,

I cannot using sharp without installing libvips globally. You can see the installation error above.
Nevertheless I tried to use directly sharp (without phash) and the same error still came up : Input buffer contains unsupported image format

[lovell]

Installation error: Use with glibc 2.28 requires manual installation of libvips >= 8.11.3

OS: Linux 4.18 CentOS Linux 8

My advice for those using ARM64 CPUs is to opt for a more modern OS, perhaps Fedora instead of CentOS if you're keen on RedHat derivatives.
