I am trying to build 3.2.2 on CentOS 5.4 and I am getting the following error:

Hi

You can find how to solve this problem at the end of the README.

“Dealing with Problems Compiling Infobright”

If you are using automake 1.9.6 or lower, you may need to replace @MKDIR_P@ by mkdir -p in
src/updater/Makefile.in.

If you experience an error message “install-sh” was not found, you can create it by
  cd vendor/mysql/
  autoreconf -f -i -Wall,no-obsolete
  cp install-sh ../../src/

Hope this will help!

I wasn’t able to locate src/updater/Makefile.in but did find src/Makefile.in so hoping this is the correct file to try.

However, I think I might have the format wrong because changing it to the following doesn’t work.

MKDIR_P = mkdir -p

Also tried:

MKDIR_P = /bin/mkdir -p

Try

(assuming it’s a bash script).

Still gives the same error :(

Hi

Oops, I mixed up your error message with other error. Sorry for that. We had similar error in one of cent os box. The problem was solved by installing upgraded autotools. Defaults tools in centos are bit downgraded.

Most of our dev env use upgrade tools. However, we planned to support default version for these tools in future (in version 3.3.1, upcoming release is 3.3.0).

————————————————

The following version of the tools worked for us:

  * A working gcc compiler (recommended version is 4.2.3, [4.1.2 used to work for Infobright earlier releases]).
  * Properly installed autoconf(2.61) and other tools such as aclocal,
    autoheader, libtool(1.5.26), automake(1.10.1), make(3.81), m4 - macro preprocessor(1.4.10),
    libncurses5, libncurses5-dev, zlib, zlib-devel, perl, bison etc.
  * boost 1.34.* (particularly libboost-regex, libboost-regex-dev, libboost-program-options,
    libboost-program-options-dev, libboost_thread, libboost_filesystem, libboost-dev).

——————————————————-

You may need to download and compile boost 1.34* to get the libraries.

cheers

I’ve seen similar errors on installing on a “clean” vm;

it was missing libtool ;

installing that cleared up those types of errors.
