## GLIBC Errors

### `GLIBC_2.39 not found` / `GLIBC_2.38 not found`
```
anchor: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.39' not found (required by anchor)
```

**Cause:** Anchor 0.31+ binaries are built on newer Linux and require GLIBC ≥2.38. Anchor 0.32+ requires ≥2.39.

**Solutions (pick one):**
1. **Upgrade OS** (best): Ubuntu 24.04+ has GLIBC 2.39
2. **Build from source:**
   ```bash
   # For Anchor 1.2.x (current):
   cargo install --git https://github.com/otter-sec/anchor --tag v1.2.1 anchor-cli

   # For Anchor 0.31.x:
   cargo install --git https://github.com/otter-sec/anchor --tag v0.31.2 anchor-cli

   # For Anchor 0.32.x:
   cargo install --git https://github.com/otter-sec/anchor --tag v0.32.2 anchor-cli
   ```
3. **Use Docker:**
   ```bash
   docker run -v $(pwd):/workspace -w /workspace solanafoundation/anchor:0.31.1 anchor build
   ```
4. **Use AVM with source build:**
   ```bash
   avm install 0.31.1 --from-source
   ```

---

## Rust / Cargo Errors

### `anchor-cli` fails to install with Rust 1.80 (`time` crate issue)
```
error[E0635]: unknown feature `proc_macro_span_shrink`
 --> .cargo/registry/src/.../time-macros-0.2.16/src/lib.rs
```

**Cause:** Anchor 0.30.x uses a `time` crate version incompatible with Rust ≥1.80 ([anchor#3143](https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor/pull/3143)).

**Solutions:**
1. **Use AVM** — it auto-selects `rustc 1.79.0` for Anchor < 0.31 ([anchor#3315](https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor/pull/3315))
2. **Pin Rust version:**
   ```bash
   rustup install 1.79.0
   rustup default 1.79.0
   cargo install --git https://github.com/coral-xyz/anchor --tag v0.30.1 anchor-cli --locked
   ```
3. **Upgrade to Anchor 0.31+** which fixes this issue

### `unexpected_cfgs` warnings flooding build output
```
warning: unexpected `cfg` condition name: `feature`
```

**Cause:** Newer Rust versions (1.80+) are stricter about `cfg` conditions.

**Solution:** Add to your program's `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[lints.rust]
unexpected_cfgs = { level = "allow" }
```
Or upgrade to Anchor 0.31+ which handles this.

### `error[E0603]: module inner is private`
**Cause:** Version mismatch between `anchor-lang` crate and Anchor CLI.

**Solution:** Ensure `anchor-lang` in Cargo.toml matches your `anchor --version`.

---

## Build Errors

### `cargo build-sbf` not found
```
error: no such command: `build-sbf`
```

**Cause:** Solana CLI not installed, or PATH not set.

**Solutions:**
1. Install Solana CLI: `sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.anza.xyz/stable/install)"`
2. Add to PATH: `export PATH="$HOME/.local/share/solana/install/active_release/bin:$PATH"`
3. Verify: `solana --version`

### `cargo build-bpf` is deprecated
```
Warning: cargo-build-bpf is deprecated. Use cargo-build-sbf instead.
```

**Cause:** As of Anchor 0.30.0, `cargo build-sbf` is the default. BPF target is deprecated in favor of SBF.

**Solution:** This is just a warning if you're using older tooling. Anchor 0.30+ handles this automatically. If calling manually, use `cargo build-sbf`.

### Platform tools download failure
```
Error: Failed to download platform-tools
```
or
```
error: could not compile `solana-program`
```

**Solutions:**
1. **Clear cache and retry:**
   ```bash
   rm -rf ~/.cache/solana/
   cargo build-sbf
   ```
2. **Manual platform tools install:**
   ```bash
   # Check which version you need
   solana --version
   # Download manually from:
   # https://github.com/anza-xyz/platform-tools/releases
   ```
3. **Check disk space** (see "No space left" error below)

### `anchor build` IDL generation fails
```
Error: IDL build failed
```
or
```
BPF SDK: /home/user/.local/share/solana/install/releases/2.1.7/solana-release/bin/sdk/sbf
Error: Function _ZN5anchor...
```

**Solutions:**
1. **Ensure `idl-build` feature is enabled (required since 0.30.0):**
   ```toml
   [features]
   default = []
   idl-build = ["anchor-lang/idl-build", "anchor-spl/idl-build"]
   ```
2. **Set ANCHOR_LOG for debugging:**
   ```bash
   ANCHOR_LOG=1 anchor build
   ```
3. **Skip IDL generation:**
   ```bash
   anchor build --no-idl
   ```
4. **Check for nightly Rust interference:**
   ```bash
   # IDL generation uses proc-macro2 which may need nightly features
   # Override with stable:
   RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable anchor build
   ```

### `anchor build` error with `proc_macro2` / `local_file` method not found
```
error[E0599]: no method named `local_file` found for struct `proc_macro2::Span`
```

**Cause:** proc-macro2 API change in newer nightly Rust.

**Solutions:**
1. Upgrade to Anchor 0.31.1+ (fixed in [#3663](https://github.com/otter-sec/anchor/pull/3663))
2. Use stable Rust: `RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=stable anchor build`
3. Pin proc-macro2: `cargo update -p proc-macro2 --precise 1.0.86`

---

## Installation Errors

### `No space left on device` during Solana install
```
error: No space left on device (os error 28)
```

**Cause:** Solana CLI + platform tools can use 2-5 GB. Multiple versions compound this.

**Solutions:**
1. **Clean old versions:**
   ```bash
   # List installed versions
   ls ~/.local/share/solana/install/releases/
   
   # Remove old ones (keep only what you need)
   rm -rf ~/.local/share/solana/install/releases/1.16.*
   rm -rf ~/.local/share/solana/install/releases/1.17.*
   
   # Also clean cache
   rm -rf ~/.cache/solana/
   ```
2. **Clean Cargo/Rust caches:**
   ```bash
   cargo cache --autoclean  # if cargo-cache is installed
   # or manually:
   rm -rf ~/.cargo/registry/cache/
   rm -rf target/
   ```
3. **Clean AVM:**
   ```bash
   ls ~/.avm/bin/
   # Remove unused anchor versions
   ```

### `agave-install` not found
```
error: agave-install: command not found
```

**Cause:** Anchor CLI 0.31+ migrates to `agave-install` for Solana versions ≥1.18.19.

**Solution:** Install via the Solana install script (which installs both):
```bash
sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.anza.xyz/stable/install)"
```

---

## Testing Errors

### `solana-test-validator` crashes or hangs
```
Error: failed to start validator
```

**Solutions:**
1. **Kill existing validators:**
   ```bash
   pkill -f solana-test-validator
   # or
   solana-test-validator --kill
   ```
2. **Clean ledger:**
   ```bash
   rm -rf test-ledger/
   ```
3. **Check port availability:**
   ```bash
   lsof -i :8899  # RPC port
   lsof -i :8900  # Websocket port
   ```
4. **Consider Surfpool** as a modern alternative to `solana-test-validator`:
   ```bash
   curl -sL https://run.surfpool.run/ | bash
   ```

### Anchor test fails with `Connection refused` / IPv6 issue
```
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED ::1:8899
```

**Cause:** Node.js 17+ resolves `localhost` to IPv6 `::1` by default, but `solana-test-validator` binds to `127.0.0.1`.

**Solutions:**
1. **Use Anchor 0.30+** which defaults to `127.0.0.1` instead of `localhost`
2. **Set NODE_OPTIONS:**
   ```bash
   NODE_OPTIONS="--dns-result-order=ipv4first" anchor test
   ```
3. **Edit Anchor.toml:**
   ```toml
   [provider]
   cluster = "http://127.0.0.1:8899"
   ```

---

## Anchor Version Migration Issues

### Anchor 0.29 → 0.30 Migration Errors

**`accounts` method type errors in TypeScript:**
```
Argument of type '{ ... }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'ResolvedAccounts<...>'
```

**Solution:** Change `.accounts({...})` to `.accountsPartial({...})` or remove auto-resolved accounts from the call.

**Missing `idl-build` feature:**
```
Error: `idl-build` feature is missing
```

**Solution:** Add to each program's Cargo.toml:
```toml
[features]
idl-build = ["anchor-lang/idl-build"]
```

**`overflow-checks` not specified:**
```
Error: overflow-checks must be specified in workspace Cargo.toml
```

**Solution:** Add to workspace `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[profile.release]
overflow-checks = true
```

### Anchor 0.30 → 0.31 Migration Errors

**Solana v1 → v2 crate conflicts:**
```
error[E0308]: mismatched types
expected `solana_program::pubkey::Pubkey`
found `solana_sdk::pubkey::Pubkey`
```

**Solution:** Remove direct `solana-program` and `solana-sdk` dependencies. Use them through `anchor-lang`:
```rust
use anchor_lang::prelude::*;
// NOT: use solana_program::pubkey::Pubkey;
```

**`Discriminator` trait changes:**
```
error[E0277]: the trait bound `MyAccount: Discriminator` is not satisfied
```

**Solution:** Ensure you derive `#[account]` on your structs. The discriminator is now dynamically sized.

### Anchor 0.31 → 0.32 Migration Errors

**`solana-program` dependency warning becomes error:**
Anchor 0.32 fully removes `solana-program` as a dependency. If your code imports from `solana_program::*`, change to the smaller crates:
```rust
// Before (0.31):
use solana_program::pubkey::Pubkey;

// After (0.32):
use solana_pubkey::Pubkey;
// Or use anchor's re-export:
use anchor_lang::prelude::*;
```

**Duplicate mutable accounts error:**
```
Error: Duplicate mutable account
```
Anchor 0.32+ disallows duplicate mutable accounts by default. Use the `dup` constraint:
```rust
#[derive(Accounts)]
pub struct MyInstruction<'info> {
    #[account(mut)]
    pub account_a: Account<'info, MyAccount>,
    #[account(mut, dup = account_a)]
    pub account_b: Account<'info, MyAccount>,
}
```

---

## Miscellaneous Errors

### `solana airdrop` fails
```
Error: airdrop request failed
```

**Cause:** Rate limiting on devnet/testnet.

**Solutions:**
1. Wait and retry
2. Use the web faucet: https://faucet.solana.com
3. For testing, use localnet where airdrops are unlimited

### Anchor IDL account authority mismatch
```
Error: Authority did not sign
```

**Solution:** The IDL authority is the program's upgrade authority. Check with:
```bash
solana program show <PROGRAM_ID>
```

### `declare_program!` not finding IDL file
```
Error: file not found: idls/my_program.json
```

**Solution:** Place the IDL JSON in the `idls/` directory at the workspace root. The filename must match the program name (snake_case):
```
workspace/
├── idls/
│   └── my_program.json
├── programs/
│   └── my_program/
└── Anchor.toml
```

---

## Transaction v1 Errors

Full reference: [transactions-v1.md](./transactions-v1.md).

### `MaxLoadedAccountsDataSizeExceeded` on a v1 transaction

```
Transaction failed: MaxLoadedAccountsDataSizeExceeded
```

**Cause:** Unset fields in a v1 `TransactionConfig` budget **zero**, not a runtime default. A v1 transaction with an empty config fails at account loading. Only `heapSize` falls back (32 KiB).

**Fix:** Set `computeUnitLimit` and `loadedAccountsDataSizeLimit` explicitly, or measure them by simulation:

```ts
const estimateResourceLimits = estimateResourceLimitsFactory({ rpc });
const message = await estimateAndSetResourceLimitsFactory(estimateResourceLimits)(
  fillTransactionMessageProvisoryResourceLimits(draft),
);
```

The estimate is the exact cost of one simulated run with no margin. Add headroom and round the data size up to the next 32 KiB page — an account created between simulation and send jumps from 0 to at least 64 bytes.

### JSON-RPC error `-32015` / "Transaction version (1) is not supported"

**Cause:** `maxSupportedTransactionVersion` is absent or set to `0` on `getTransaction`, `getBlock`, or `blockSubscribe`. The parameter is a ceiling, not a hint.

**Fix:** Pass the JSON **integer** `1`. On `getBlock` this matters twice over — a single v1 transaction fails the *entire block*, with no partial result. `blockSubscribe` emits `block: null` and stops advancing.

### `Version 1 transactions are not yet supported by rpcTransactionPlanner`

**Cause:** `@solana/kit-plugin-rpc` ≤0.18. Those releases typed the `version: 1` planner config but threw at runtime; 0.19.0 plans v1 natively.

**Fix:** `pnpm add @solana/kit@^8.3.0 @solana/kit-plugin-rpc@^0.19.0 @solana/kit-plugin-signer@^0.19.0`, then `solanaRpc({ rpcUrl, transactionConfig: { version: 1 } })`.

### Wallet rejects the transaction after upgrading to v1

**Cause:** The connected wallet has not shipped v1 support, so it refuses to sign a message with version byte `0x81`.

**Fix:** Check `connected.supportedTransactionVersions.has(1)` (from `client.wallet.getState()` or `useConnectedWallet`) before sending, and route those users through a `version: 0` client. See [transactions-v1.md](./transactions-v1.md#wallets).

### `createTransactionMessage({ version: 1 })` is a type error

**Cause:** `@solana/kit` 7.x carries the v1 codecs, config setters, and `maxSupportedTransactionVersion: 1`, but 8.0.0 is the first release whose types accept the v1 builder.

**Fix:** `pnpm add @solana/kit@^8.0.0`.

### Priority fee or compute unit limit reads as 0 in an indexer

**Cause:** Deriving the budget by scanning instructions for the ComputeBudget program. On v1 those values live in the message config, so the scan finds nothing and reports zero **without erroring**. Over gRPC there is no version gate at all, so nothing signals the problem.

**Fix:** Read `transactionConfig` (JSON-RPC) or `Message.config` (gRPC). Discriminate on `config` presence, never on the `versioned` boolean — it is `true` for both v0 and v1. Bump `yellowstone-grpc-proto` to 12.6.0+, the geyser plugin to 15.1.1+, or `@triton-one/yellowstone-grpc` to 6.0.0+; older stubs drop field 7 silently.

---

## LiteSVM Errors

### `undefined symbol: __isoc23_strtol` (litesvm native binary)
```
Error: Cannot find native binding.
cause: litesvm.linux-x64-gnu.node: undefined symbol: __isoc23_strtol
```

**Root cause:** the old LiteSVM 0.5.0 npm binary was compiled against GLIBC 2.38+. The `__isoc23_strtol` symbol was introduced in GLIBC 2.38 (C23 standard functions), so systems with GLIBC < 2.38 (Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12, etc.) could not load it.

**Verified on:** Debian 12 (GLIBC 2.36) with `litesvm` 0.5.0 — Jan 2026

**Solutions:**
1. **Upgrade `litesvm`** to the current 1.x (1.6.0 as of Oct 2026). Its gnu binaries are cross-built on Ubuntu 22.04 runners, and musl builds (`litesvm-linux-{x64,arm64}-musl`) ship alongside them. Delete `node_modules` and the lockfile entry so the right optional binary is installed.
2. **Use Docker:**
   ```dockerfile
   FROM ubuntu:24.04
   RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y nodejs npm
   ```
3. **Upgrade the OS** to Ubuntu 24.04+ or Debian 13+.

Do not switch to `solana-bankrun`: it is deprecated in favor of LiteSVM.

### `Cannot find module './litesvm.linux-x64-gnu.node'`
```
Error: Cannot find module './litesvm.linux-x64-gnu.node'
```

**Root cause:** pnpm hoisting doesn't always correctly link native optional dependencies for native Node addons.

**Solutions:**
1. Delete `node_modules` and reinstall: `rm -rf node_modules && pnpm install`
2. Use `node-linker=hoisted` in `.npmrc`:
   ```
   node-linker=hoisted
   ```
3. Install the platform-specific package explicitly:
   ```bash
   pnpm add -D litesvm-linux-x64-gnu
   ```

---

## Platform Tools Errors

### `The Solana toolchain is corrupted` after fresh install
```
[ERROR cargo_build_sbf] The Solana toolchain is corrupted. Please, run cargo-build-sbf with the --force-tools-install argument to fix it.
```

**Root cause:** Solana CLI 2.2.x downloads platform-tools v1.48 (~516MB compressed, ~2GB extracted). On systems with limited root partition space (<3GB free in `~/.cache/solana/`), extraction can fail silently, leaving a corrupted toolchain (e.g., `rust/` directory missing `rustc` binary).

**Verified on:** Debian 12, Solana CLI 2.2.16, root partition 9.7GB with 2.1GB free — Jan 2026

**Solutions:**
1. **Run with `--force-tools-install`:**
   ```bash
   cargo build-sbf --force-tools-install
   ```
   This re-downloads and re-extracts. Takes 5-10 minutes on average connections.

2. **Ensure sufficient disk space** (~3GB free needed on partition containing `~/.cache/solana/`):
   ```bash
   df -h ~/.cache/solana/
   # If too small, symlink to bigger disk:
   rm -rf ~/.cache/solana/v1.48/platform-tools
   mkdir -p /mnt/data/solana-cache/v1.48/platform-tools
   ln -sf /mnt/data/solana-cache/v1.48/platform-tools ~/.cache/solana/v1.48/platform-tools
   ```

3. **Manual extraction** (if `--force-tools-install` keeps cycling):
   ```bash
   # Download manually
   wget https://github.com/anza-xyz/platform-tools/releases/download/v1.48/platform-tools-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
   # Extract to a disk with space
   mkdir -p /mnt/data/solana-platform-tools/v1.48
   cd /mnt/data/solana-platform-tools/v1.48
   tar xjf /path/to/platform-tools-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
   # Symlink
   ln -sf /mnt/data/solana-platform-tools/v1.48 ~/.cache/solana/v1.48/platform-tools
   ```

**Note:** The `version.md` file is the last file extracted. Its presence confirms successful extraction.

### Anchor CLI version mismatch warnings (non-fatal)
```
WARNING: `anchor-lang` version(0.32.1) and the current CLI version(0.30.1) don't match.
WARNING: `@coral-xyz/anchor` version(^0.32.1) and the current CLI version(0.30.1) don't match.
```

**Root cause:** Using Anchor CLI 0.30.1 with `anchor-lang = "0.32.1"` in Cargo.toml. The build **succeeds** but prints warnings.

**Verified on:** Debian 12, Anchor CLI 0.30.1 building anchor-lang 0.32.1 — builds and generates IDL correctly — Jan 2026

**Impact:** Builds work. IDL generation works. But subtle runtime issues may occur with IDL format differences between 0.30 and 0.32.

**Solutions:**
1. **Match versions** (recommended):
   ```toml
   # Anchor.toml
   [toolchain]
   anchor_version = "0.32.1"
   ```
   Then install matching CLI: `avm install 0.32.1`
2. **Or downgrade crate:** Change `anchor-lang = "0.30.1"` in Cargo.toml
3. **Ignore if just building:** The mismatch is cosmetic for `anchor build` and `anchor idl build`

## edition2024 Crate Incompatibility (Cargo 1.84.0)

### `feature edition2024 is required` during `cargo build-sbf`
```
error: failed to download `constant_time_eq v0.4.2`

Caused by:
  failed to parse manifest at `.../constant_time_eq-0.4.2/Cargo.toml`

Caused by:
  feature `edition2024` is required

  The package requires the Cargo feature called `edition2024`, but that feature is not
  stabilized in this version of Cargo (1.84.0 (12fe57a9d 2025-04-07)).
```

**Root cause:** Platform-tools v1.48 (used by Solana CLI 2.2.16 and CI with Solana stable 3.0.14) bundles `cargo 1.84.0` (Solana Rust fork), which does **not** support `edition = "2024"`. Multiple crates in the Solana dependency tree have released versions requiring edition2024.

### ⚠️ Known edition2024 Crates (Updated Jan 31, 2026)

| Crate | Breaking Version | Safe Version | Pulled By |
|---|---|---|---|
| `blake3` | ≥1.8.3 | **1.8.2** | `solana-blake3-hasher` → `solana-program` |
| `constant_time_eq` | ≥0.4.2 | **0.3.1** | `blake3` |
| `base64ct` | ≥1.8.3 | **1.7.3** | `pkcs8`, `spki` → various crypto crates |
| `indexmap` | ≥2.13.0 | **2.11.4** | `toml_edit` → `proc-macro-crate` → `borsh-derive` → `anchor-lang` |

**New crates may ship edition2024 at any time.** If you see this error with a crate not listed above, pin it to the previous version.

**Why existing repos break:** Projects without a `Cargo.lock` (or with a stale one) resolve to the latest crate versions at build time, pulling in edition2024-requiring releases. This is especially common in CI environments.

**Verified on:**
- Debian 12, Solana CLI 2.2.16, platform-tools v1.48 — Jan 30, 2026
- GitHub Actions (ubuntu-latest), Solana stable 3.0.14, Cargo 1.84.0 — Jan 31, 2026

### Solutions

**1. Pin all known problematic crates (recommended for CI):**
```bash
cargo generate-lockfile
cargo update -p blake3 --precise 1.8.2
cargo update -p constant_time_eq --precise 0.3.1
cargo update -p base64ct --precise 1.7.3
cargo update -p indexmap --precise 2.11.4
```

**2. Pin via workspace Cargo.toml:**
```toml
# In workspace Cargo.toml
[workspace.dependencies]
blake3 = "=1.8.2"
base64ct = "=1.7.3"
```

**3. Always commit Cargo.lock for programs and Anchor projects:**
```bash
# Force-add if .gitignore excludes it
git add -f Cargo.lock
```
This is the single most effective prevention — a committed lockfile prevents cargo from resolving to newer breaking versions.

**4. For monorepos with per-project Cargo.lock files (e.g., program-examples):**
Each Anchor project that has its own `Cargo.toml` outside the workspace needs its own `Cargo.lock`. Generate and pin for each:
```bash
for dir in $(find . -path "*/anchor/Cargo.toml" -exec dirname {} \;); do
  cd "$dir"
  cargo generate-lockfile
  cargo update -p blake3 --precise 1.8.2 2>/dev/null
  cargo update -p constant_time_eq --precise 0.3.1 2>/dev/null
  cargo update -p base64ct --precise 1.7.3 2>/dev/null
  cargo update -p indexmap --precise 2.11.4 2>/dev/null
  cd -
done
git add -f **/Cargo.lock
```

**5. Wait for platform-tools update** — a future platform-tools version will ship a cargo that supports edition2024. Track at [anza-xyz/platform-tools](https://github.com/anza-xyz/platform-tools/releases).

### `Could not find specification for target "sbpf-solana-solana"` with `--tools-version`
```
error: Error loading target specification: Could not find specification for target "sbpf-solana-solana".
Run `rustc --print target-list` for a list of built-in targets
```

**Root cause:** Using `cargo build-sbf --tools-version v1.43` with Solana CLI 2.2.16. The CLI generates `--target sbpf-solana-solana` but platform-tools v1.43 only knows older target triples (e.g., `sbf-solana-solana`). The SBPF target rename happened between v1.43 and v1.48.

**Verified on:** Debian 12, Solana CLI 2.2.16 — Jan 30, 2026

**Solution:** Don't downgrade platform-tools below your CLI's default version. Use the default tools version (v1.48 for CLI 2.2.16).

| Cargo duplicate deps | `cargo tree -d` on program-examples | ⚠️ INFO | 2295 lines of duplicate deps (ahash, base64, borsh, curve25519-dalek, ed25519-dalek, etc.) — normal for Solana workspace |
| Platform tools corruption | `cargo build-sbf` on fresh install | ❌ FAIL then PASS | Initial corruption due to disk space; fixed with `--force-tools-install` on adequate disk |

### Key Findings
1. **litesvm 0.5.0 npm was broken on Debian 12** (GLIBC 2.36) — upgrade to litesvm 1.x, which ships cross-built gnu and musl binaries
2. **solana-bankrun loaded** on GLIBC 2.36, but it is now deprecated — do not adopt it for new work
3. **Platform-tools v1.48 needs ~2GB disk** for extraction — symlink `~/.cache/solana/` to a larger partition if root is small
4. **Anchor CLI 0.30.1 successfully builds anchor-lang 0.32.1** — warnings only, no errors
5. **Node 22 has full ESM+CJS support** for all Solana JS packages tested
6. **Cargo duplicate dependencies are normal** in Solana monorepos (borsh 0.9/0.10/1.x, curve25519-dalek 3.x/4.x, etc.)
