Compile issue on Mac OS-X Lion 10.7.5

[ENRICO DAGA]

Hi all,

first, thank you for your work on Fast Downward!

I have been able to compile and run Fast Downward with OS-X 10.6, now I have a new laptop with Lion 10.7.5 and it looks like it doesn't compile.

Dependency libraries should all be installed.

Here is the output:

host-011:src enricox$ ./build_all 

make: Nothing to be done for `default'.

make: Nothing to be done for `default'.

make: Nothing to be done for `default'.

rm pddl+.cpp

Any hint is very welcome!

Thank you,

Enrico

Dear Enrico,

the last stage of "build_all" is to compile the plan validator VAL,
which is not really a part of Fast Downward, but included with the
distribution for convenience. The errors messages you get come from the
validator -- I assume it's some kind of version incompatibility of flex
or bison.

You can use the planner without VAL: everything you need to actually run
the planner has been compiled once you get to the stage where build_all
is trying to compile VAL. It would still be good to get to the bottom of
this, since having a working validator is quite important if you want to
implement new techniques.

Does the newest version of the validator from
http://planning.cis.strath.ac.uk/VAL/ work for you? If yes, please get
back to us and we will see if there is something we need to merge.

If not, I suggest to report the issue to VAL's developers. (Note that
the contact details on the VAL page are out of date -- I don't want to
include the email address here because of spambots, but the person to
get in touch with is Derek Long at King's College London.)

Cheers,
Malte

Hi Enrico,

On the VAL homepage there also is a note about compilation issues with
pddl+.cpp (http://planning.cis.strath.ac.uk/VAL/#Compilation). Maybe
recreating this file locally helps in your case.

Cheers,
Florian

Please, be aware that the latest version of VAL is not at the webpage of
the strathclyde University, but at the web of the ipc2011. While I do
not think that it will fix your compilation problems, it provides a few
more functionalities:

As Florian says, try recreating pddl+ locally, and use the current
version of VAL. We ship a pre-built pddl+.cpp, but I've been wondering
for a while if that's a good idea - it saves our users from having to
install flex and bison, but causes 99% of our bug reports. If it still
doesn't work, let me know and I'll talk to our resident 'planning
researcher who uses a Mac'.

If I recall correctly, we changed this in the version of VAL that is
shipped with Fast Downward because the pregenerated files caused too
much trouble.

@Enrico: have you compiled from a clean directory, or is it possible
that some files compiled with the previous OS X were still lying around?
In that case, you could try again with a new clone and see if it makes a
difference.

Cheers,
Malte

Thank you all for your feedbacks.

I will try again with a new clone and downloading the latest version of VAL.

@Andrew I can't locate the pddl+.cpp file anywhere, and then looking to the last line of the output I see "rm pddl+.cpp", so Malte is probably right.

Nice to find a so active community!

Ok, the problem is with VAL, the latest distribution reports:

host-011:VAL-4.2.08 enricox$ make

flex++ pddl+.lex ; bison pddl+.yacc -o pddl+.cpp

pddl+.yacc: conflicts: 1 shift/reduce, 4 reduce/reduce

pddl+.cpp:1763: error: variable or field ‘yy_reduce_print’ declared void

pddl+.cpp:1763: error: ‘YYSTYPE’ was not declared in this scope

pddl+.cpp:1763: error: ‘yyvsp’ was not declared in this scope

pddl+.cpp:1732: warning: ‘void yy_stack_print(yytype_int16*, yytype_int16*)’ defined but not used

make: *** [pddl+.o] Error 1

I will try to report this to the VAL team.

Thank you again for your help!

Update.

Downloading the last version 4.2.09 from http://www.plg.inf.uc3m.es/ipc2011-deterministic/Resources as suggested by @Carlos solves the problem.

Thank you all,

Enrico

Thanks! I've updated the version of VAL included with Fast Downward to
this version.

It may or may not work out of the box on your machine. As discussed
before, unlike the original VAL release, we do not include pregenerated
flex/bison files since these often fail to work.

Cheers,
Malte
