Deploying on Elastic Beanstalk

[candersson1]

Hi there, I have a Rails 6.1 app I am developing I have successfully used the ruby-vips gem to generate a dzi image using the "dzsave" method. It is for use in openseadragon. Works great in development.
I have now spent two days trying to get it to deploy to an AWS Elastic Beanstalk Instance.
At first it appeared that I needed to install vips on the server which I was able to do using this .ebextensions.config script

"/opt/elasticbeanstalk/hooks/appdeploy/pre/10_libvip_installer.sh" :
mode: "000775"
owner: root
group: users
content: |
#!/usr/bin/env bash

  sudo yum update -y \
  && sudo yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools" \
  && sudo yum install -y wget tar

  sudo yum install -y \
  libpng-devel \
  glib2-devel \
  libjpeg-devel \
  expat-devel \
  zlib-devel \
  giflib-devel

  sudo yum install -y gcc64
  echo "Installing VIPS"
  VIPS_VERSION=8.9.0
  VIPS_URL=https://github.com/libvips/libvips/releases/download
  
  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-amazon-linux/6.4.1/libgomp.spec /usr/lib64/libgomp.spec
  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-amazon-linux/6.4.1/libgomp.a /usr/lib64/libgomp.a
  sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libgomp.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib64/libgomp.so

  wget ${VIPS_URL}/v${VIPS_VERSION}/vips-${VIPS_VERSION}.tar.gz \
  && tar xzf vips-${VIPS_VERSION}.tar.gz \
  && cd vips-${VIPS_VERSION} \
  && ./configure \
  && sudo make \
  && sudo make install

This succesfully installs vips but dzsave will not work without the 'libgsf-1' library. I have tried for hours to get that installed on the Beanstalk instance with no luck. I have tried SSHing into the instance and manually installing it but I end up in an endless loop of dependency requirements. There must be an easier way...

Do any of you have any experience with this?
