In Process.php line 441: The process has been signaled with signal "6" when running composer on Mac
Note, this post is also posted on dev.to where I am primarily writing right now!
As you can see, I've been through some hell this morning. First of all, you're only going to get presented with:
In Process.php line 441:
The process has been signaled with signal "6".
...if there is a composer.json
file in the current working directory, so if you run composer
right now in, say, $HOME
you're going to think it's working, but if you're here you likely have figured this out...
I did so much googling this morning. But I eventually landed on this, which gave me a clue...
Running composer -vvv
I saw the same thing, and running svn --version
I was presented with a new error:
dyld[92827]: Symbol not found: _apr_crypto_block_cleanup
Referenced from: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/subversion/1.14.2/lib/libsvn_subr-1.0.dylib
Expected in: /usr/lib/libaprutil-1.0.dylib
So I reinstalled svn
, php
, and composer
a bazillion times, no effect. But then I landed on this in my googling and figured, what the hell and ran the suggested fix on that seemingly unrelated issue:
brew reinstall apr-util
And...it worked! I don't really know what apr-util
is, but it seems to have at least fixed my problem for now, and hopefully yours!
