Errors when compiling grok on Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit

[Grig Gheorghiu]

Hello,

I am trying to install grok-1.20110308.1 on a 32-bit Ubuntu 9.04 EC2
instance. I installed the pre-reqs via

# apt-get install bison ctags flex gperf libevent-dev libpcre3-dev
libtokyocabinet-dev

When I run 'make grok' I get:

# make grok
cc -c -pipe -fPIC -I. -O2 -I/usr/local/include -DPLATFORM_GNULinux
grok.c -o grok.o

Any suggestions appreciated.

This is an indication that tokyocabinet is the incorrect version. What
version do you have installed?

That's too old, unfortunately :(

Here's the install notes: https://github.com/jordansissel/grok/blob/master/INSTALL

Basically, you need tokyocabinet >= 1.4.9

It's a pretty easy project to build, so building a deb package with it
should be pretty easy (easier if you use fpm*)

OK, thanks. I guess I don't really need grok on the shipper side of
logstash, so I won't embark on this mini-project ;-)

Nice job with logstash BTW! Only observation regarding docs is that
the page at http://logstash.net/docs/1.0.2/getting-started-centralized
could use some splitting into sections.
