{"error":"not_found","reason":"Document is missing attachment"}

[aljosa]

while trying to compile numpy (for python) i've run into a few issues which i thought were related to numpy compilation.
i eventually went back to original example from devcenter article and something is wrong and i can't build memcached example.

any help/instructions appreciated.

i've followed instructions on devcenter article: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpack-binaries#compiling-binaries

$ cat /tmp/memcached-1.4.tgz
{"error":"not_found","reason":"Document is missing attachment"}

actual output:

$ curl -O http://memcached.googlecode.com/files/memcached-1.4.13.tar.gz

This error is being returned from CouchDB; it seems to indicate that the build did not finish and upload to Cloudant. Can you try again with 0.8.1?

[aljosa]

@wuputah i'll try this weekend and report results w/ v0.8.1

@wuputah I'm also getting the same error trying to compile GSL with version 0.8.1. When I use -v the compile seems to proceed normally, but the download URL and the downloaded .tgz file both contain same error message:
{"error":"not_found","reason":"Document is missing attachment"}

I've just seen this error in the build output using the following:

vulcan build -s http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/sources/v2.16/lilypond-2.16.2.tar.gz -n lilypond -c "./autogen.sh --noconfigure && mkdir build && cd build && ../configure && make"

(FWIW I haven't done any of this before.)

@xaviershay try downloading and expanding the source before sending it off to vulcan.

Here is a good tutorial: http://www.higherorderheroku.com/articles/using-vulcan-to-build-binary-dependencies-on-heroku/

That worked, though I would have expected a useful error from the above if it is invalid.
