Hello all:
I was trying to pull Pike's source from the website. The latest revision
returned a 404, so I hopped over to downloads and got the next
down--apparently Pike-v7.8.352. I extracted and ran make, and it locks
up (it's been there for the last hour now) on Checking to see how well
OOB works. Here's some info--anything else that's needed, please let me
know.
tyler@mango:~/Pike-v7.8.352$ uname -a
Linux mango 3.4.2-linode44 #1 SMP Tue Jun 12 15:04:46 EDT 2012 i686

A strange issue! Usually when I build, the OOB handling times out
after a little while (seconds, not minutes/hours). Try hitting Ctrl-C
and starting make again.

7.8.352 ought to be safe and stable; that's the version that's
currently running all my vital systems here. But also/alternatively,
you may wish to try what's about to become the latest stable:

http://pike.ida.liu.se/download/pub/pike/beta/7.8.686/

If you're on a Debian or Ubuntu system, you can also get Pike directly
from the repository (apt-get install pike) - I think it's a quite old
version (7.6ish) though. Not sure about Red Hat as I don't have/use
it.

Hello:
I've tried the ctrl+c and make route a couple of times. I've also done a
make clean and then tried a make again to see how it works. It's still
hanging
at the testing OOB bit. I also did a cd src and did ./configure help,
where it mentions that I can disable oob (and says it's unavailable).
Trying that
anyway makes configure exit with an error noting that oob is mandatory.

Just wanted to throw some more info out. I updated to the latest version
that Chris threw out, and I'm still getting OOB hanging. It works fine
on stable(at least until gmp--I didn't want to install it on my main
server anyway, I just wanted to see if it'd get past the OOB problem),
so I'm thinking it's something to do with OOB).

I'm sorry for flooding everyone with messages. I've found a resolution,
such as it is. When I did a ctrl+c again, I noticed that config data was
being stored to build/.../config.log. Going in there and doing a search
for oob showed it compiling and returning with a bunch of errno 110. so:
#include <errno.h>
#include <cstdio>

int main()
{
printf("%s\n", sys_errlist[110]);
return 0;

I don't know if there's a better way to do it, but it came up with
"connection timed out." Great. I disabled the firewall, still get
"connection timed out," but it just keeps going after that fails. I
don't know if this is an issue my side or somewhere else, but the
firewall makes OOB hang quite hard, so I wanted to let everyone know.
Hopefully this is of some use.

Hi.

Can you provide a fragment of the log? I'm interested in exactly where in
the test it fails.

I've now made some changes to the configure test in Pike 7.8 and 7.9
that hopefully detect your problem.

Awesome, thanks. I'm getting a lot more errors, I didn't want to keep
spamming everyone with them, I'm not sure what the deal is. it's from
the 52 version I think it was, along with the latest:

"Error in constant definition" on the first constant in the master is an
indication that you've compiled Pike with machine-code enabled on a 32-bit
x86 machine with a too recent gcc.

Rerun configure with --without-machine-code or use an older version of gcc.

The option switches the Pike compiler backend and run-time from
generating and using native x86 machine-code to generating and
using a generic byte-code. This is likely to reduce run-time
performance by several percent.
