Keystone doesn't installs properly

[yaroslavyaroslav]

I'm duplicating this issue, since that repo looks a bit desolated.

Setup

• macOS 13.2 with Apple silicon chip (it has different homebrew base folder, just in case)
• risen 0.4.1
• rz-pm 0.4.1

Steps to reproduce

• rz-pm -i keystone
• rz-pm -l >> keystone

Error

• rz-asm -L | grep ks # produce no output
• rizin -a arm.ks # asm.arch: cannot find (arm.ks)

I see https://github.com/rizinorg/rizin-extras/pull/20 is merged just yet, so maybe if's fixed already, just rollout takes some more time. But as for now keystone doesn't install within rz-pm successfully.

Also there's a strange paths pn rz-pm output:

 RZPM_PLUGDIR=/Users/user/.local//opt/homebrew/lib/rizin/plugins # this one
 RZPM_BINDIR=/Users/user/.local/share/rizin/bin
 RZPM_DBDIR=/Users/user/.local/share/rizin/rz-pm/db
 RZPM_GITDIR=/Users/user/.local/share/rizin/rz-pm/git
 RZPM_GITSKIP=

It seems like it concatenates both homebrew paths and local path. It installs everything here /opt/homebrew/lib/rizin/plugins anyway.

On homebrew there is still the old bash-based rz-pm which is not maintained anymore. This repository is about the golang version and it is still a WIP, though it kinda works.

Your best chance right now is to just install the keystone plugin from source https://github.com/rizinorg/rizin-extras/tree/master/keystone . Likely for rizin v0.5.0 (which we will release in a few weeks) everything should work well also for the homebrew-based rizin.

@ret2libc thanks, I'll try.

Just wonder, Would it be be the same codebase as it is in a new r2pm release or it's just a coincidence that both of you running out of bash to native?

[wargio]

back in radareorg, we wanted to remove r2pm script and have it native, so after the fork happened we kept working on this path. i think pancake dropped the original go code in favour of C code, but is better to ask him not us regarding this.
