unable to compile redis unstable

[Raghava Mutharaju]

Hello all,

When I try to compile the unstable version of redis on a linux machine, I get the following error

-----------------------------------

rm -rf redis-server redis-benchmark redis-cli redis-check-dump redis-check-aof *.o *.gcda *.gcno *.gcov

(echo jemalloc > .make-malloc)

    CC ae.o

In file included from ae.c:41:

zmalloc.h:51:31: error: jemalloc/jemalloc.h: No such file or directory

zmalloc.h:56:2: error: #error "Newer version of jemalloc required"

-----------------------------------

I tried by compiling jemalloc in the deps/ folder. Since I don't have root permissions, I would have to install it in a user folder. How do I specify this folder in redis make? I tried with "not specifying" this and I got the following error

-----------------------------------

../deps/hiredis/libhiredis.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[1]: *** [redis-benchmark] Error 1

-----------------------------------

I got the same error if I run with "make MALLOC=libc" option.

How can I correct this? Please let me know.

Thank you.

Regards,

Raghava.

I am able to compile other versions of redis on this machine though. Also, I am able to compile redis unstable on my mac laptop.

Which exact sha1 of unstable do you use? Which version of GCC and
make? Did you try running `make distclean` before trying to compile
(this should remove all compilation artifacts, including those of
dependencies)?

Cheers,
Pieter

geez!!! running 'make distclean' before make did the trick. I thought I tried that before but apparently I didn't.

Thank you for the response and for the suggestions. 

Regards,

Raghava.

I hit the same thing.

FYI, I just tried to compile unstable from a vanilla repo on both OSX
and Linux and both worked.

Did you pull in latest changes into an older repo?

Cheers,
Pieter

Hey, maybe users having system-wide installations of jemalloc (that
are not recent enough) are in trouble because of the include files
precedence?

That shouldn't be a problem, because directories add via -I are searched
before the system ones

Thanks for the information. The output somewhat suggests this or
alternatively a problem with the cloned repository.

Hello,

apparently we have a problem that if there is a system-wide version of
jemalloc installed, Redis uses that instead to force itself to use the
local version. However this only happens depending on the development
stack configuration AFAIK. For some reason CentOS may be configured to
start the search at system wide level instead of the local one?

I'm not very expert about this stuff, I bet somebody into this list
knows better.

I received some help with this.

We've installed Git with yum install, downloaded Redis sources with it, compiled and everything worked right away.

I originally tried to download the sources as a zip file, unzip and compile, and just couldn't get it to work for some reason.

I have little if any Linux experience, and I've never compiled anything on Linux, is there a standard/easy way to download sources and compile them?

Thanks
