error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 about pdftotext HOT 24 CLOSED

Since this project uses poppler's CPP interface, you also need the libpoppler-cpp-dev package

from pdftotext.

@lhyGit libpoppler-cpp-dev is one of the packages needed on Debian-based systems. For macOS, the packages you need are installed via brew install pkg-config poppler

If you still have issues after installing those, can you provide the output of pip --verbose install pdftotext here?

from pdftotext.

I'm using this in a Dockerized environment and simply doing apt-get install libpoppler-cpp-dev did it for me
thanks @jalan !

@GD-A-150800 Please don't post new unrelated questions on a closed issue.

I'm sorry to say that there is no support for Windows. The relevant issue in this case is #16.

Are the poppler dev libraries installed?

from pdftotext.

I think so.

john@john-Virtual-Machine:~$ dpkg -l | grep poppler
ii  libpoppler-glib8:amd64  0.62.0-2ubuntu2.2  amd64   PDF rendering library (GLib-based shared library)
ii  libpoppler73:amd64  0.62.0-2ubuntu2.2  amd64   PDF rendering library
ii  poppler-data  0.4.8-2  all  encoding data for the poppler PDF rendering library
ii  poppler-utils  0.62.0-2ubuntu2.2  amd64  PDF utilities (based on Poppler)

That should be ok, shouldn't it?

from pdftotext.

Great, that worked. Thanks!

from pdftotext.

I had the same error on macOS. Also I don't find any way to install the libpoppler-cpp-dev package on macOS. I tried brew search libpoppler, but no such formula or related formulae exist. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

from pdftotext.

It's interesting that I actually have the header file 'poppler-document.h' under the poppler path, which is '/usr/local/Cellar/poppler/0.71.0/include/poppler/cpp/poppler-document.h'. I think the compiler gcc couldn't find the header file for some reason but I don't know why specifically. Any ideas?

from pdftotext.

Reopening so I don't lose track of this

from pdftotext.

output.txt
Thanks for replying. This is the output of pip install. The compiler just couldn't find 'poppler-document.h', but it's actually under the poppler path.

from pdftotext.

It looks like you're using anaconda, which is known to provide a strange build environment. Can you try to first install poppler via anaconda and then pip install pdftotext again? https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/poppler

from pdftotext.

Closing after no response for ten days. Will reopen if further information is provided.

Hi jalan,

I have same issue in pdftotext version 2.1.1 in MacOS when install from pip: pip install pdftotext.

@Ciangi what system are you building on?

from pdftotext.

Ubuntu 16.04
python2.7

from pdftotext.

I just booted into a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 machine and it installed just fine.

Your system looks fishy. Poppler headers on Ubuntu are usually in /usr/include, not /usr/local/include. Did you manually install poppler instead of using the one provided by Ubuntu?

from pdftotext.

I manually installed poppler. but i noticed that i have pdftotext installed, don't know why but it is and works ...

from pdftotext.

I ended up having to uninstall linuxbrew. I started suspecting this to be the issue after seeing that the the header was in the linuxbrew path:

/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/include/poppler/cpp/poppler-page.h:38:15: error: does not match expected signature 'poppler::text_box& poppler::text_box::operator=(poppler::text_box&)'
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

This is the proper one for ubuntu users using python3

what to be done if same issues are appearing in windows????
