SolcInstallationError: Downloaded binary would not execute, or returned unexpected output. (Raspberry Pi 4B)

[Sevamove]

Unfortunately, every time I run brownie compile on my Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB RAM, it returns always:

I see that ABIs are downloaded from https://solc-bin.ethereum.org/linux-amd64/solc-linux-amd64-v0.4.26+commit.4563c3fc which mean for AMD64-processors. But still I am also curious if anyone on M1 Mac's gets this issue too or it is only Raspberry Pi specific.

I've tried to reinstall the eth-brownie and solc by running this commands:

sudo snap install solc
sudo npm install -g solc
pip3 install eth-brownie
pipx install eth-brownie

I surfed the internet and found this links:

1. https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/103479/solcinstallationerror-downloaded-binary-would-not-execute-or-returned-unexpect
2. https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/102866/how-to-compile-smart-contracts-using-brownie-on-raspberry-pi-4b

But they were not helpful.
And by the way there is a bounty if anyone can solve this problem. Would be nice!

I've also tried to compile from the source code, not using brownie but only Web3.py project from here.

Returned the SolcInstallationError:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

This is likely due to a missing or incorrect version of a build dependency.

Note that all Solidity projects work fine using a MacBook Pro amd64 version processor.

Hello @moonwake769 did you try with the snap package for sol? https://snapcraft.io/install/solc/raspbian

Also, I saw you also commented on those post @PatrickAlphaC have you any idea?

[Sevamove]

Hello @cromewar No, I've tried only sudo snap install solc. But I see there are more commands to run. I'll do it tomorrow. Yes, @PatrickAlphaC might already familiar with this issue.

Hi all, I'm actually not sure how to resolve this myself on a raspberry pi. Have you tried directly installing the solc compiler? https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/v0.8.9/installing-solidity.html

I'd love to figure this out for raspberry pi users in the future.
