electrs 11.0 update

[Bambolinaclava]

Hi, I'm having problems with the electrs update. I'm on version 10.10 and would like to upgrade to 11.0.
It gives me this error, I'm attaching an image

You could've already told what the error message is saying.

For the image, upload it to talkimg.com, it's the unofficial image hosting website specifically designed for Bitcointalk.
Then share the link in your reply.

The building probably fails because clang-sys can't find libclang:

failed to run custom build command for 'clang-sys v1.8.1'
...
couldn't find any valid shared libraries matching: ['libclang.so', 'libclang-*.so'];

If you're on Debian/Ubuntu, try installing clang/LLVM dev libs:

Code:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install clang llvm-dev libclang-dev

Re-build using:

Code:

cargo build

Reply here if you're still having trouble.

from the second image you can see from the list that version 11.0 is working, but when it finished and I did the command electres --version, it tells me that the version is 10.10

From what I'm seeing, it's compiling electrs v0.11 under /home/admin/rust. This suggests that electrs v0.10 is still installed somewhere in your system, and so when running electrs it reads the outdated version. Try running which electrs and see where your shell is actually running. It should point to something like ~/.cargo/bin/electrs or /usr/local/bin/electrs.

Then try running electrs --version from the repo you installed it.

Please tell the OS you're using and the command that you've used to compile Electrs.

For those errors in the first screenshot, someone has posted an issue related to it: github.com/romanz/electrs/issues/1249
But I don't think it's related to your separate installed versions.

For now, read this documentation that explains the steps to properly update Electrs: github.com/romanz/electrs/blob/master/doc/upgrading.md#general-upgrading-guide
Remembering how you installed the old version is necessary.

How do you show the images like I do?

for now I'll do the same as yesterday, thanks

I was on version 10.4 and wanted to upgrade directly to version 11.0, but it didn't work.
So I upgraded one at a time, following the guide, so 10.5, then 10.6, then 10.7, up to 10.10.
Then I wanted to upgrade to 11.0, but when I check the version, it doesn't work.

Have you installed your newly compiled electrs in /usr/local/bin and anything else that electrs needs in appropriate places?

How do you show the images like I do?

Newbie ranked users don't display embedded images, even when they properly use [img]...[/img] image BBcode tags.
When higher ranked users cite your image tags, the embedded images are shown. This is all explained in forum docs for user ranks.

And please, stop posting consecutive posts just because you're ignorant of forum rule #32. See here for enlightment:

It's a good tutorial that's basically the same as the official documentation but more tailored for your OS.

Since it still returns with v10.10 and you haven't showed any more steps after your second reply,
I assume that you still haven't done the next steps in that tutorial after "compile the source code".
Skipping it will cause that issue where the old version is still in its original directory.

Hi, I redid all the steps and now it installed. I don't know why, I did the same things, so much the better.
Now I'm updating to the bitcoincore30 version. I hope I don't have any problems. Thanks everyone.

If you did all the steps this time, then it's definitely the one that I've mentioned above.

Because since the latest version is already cloned and compiled,
That next step; "Back up the old version and update" is the only step that when skipped or done incorrectly, can cause the two versions issue that you've experienced.
