Unable to run icegridnode

[sattursa]

Hi,

I downloaded the ice source code for Linux and used make to build.

When I tried to execute icegridnode built by make, I got an
exception:

icegridnode --Ice.Config=./node2.cfg

05/19/08 17:02:41.750 error: service caught unhandled Ice exception:
ThreadPool.cpp:64: Ice::SocketException:
socket exception: Function not implemented
libgcc_s.so.1 must be installed for pthread_cancel to work


Appreciate any input on resolving this issue.

Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,

Could you describe your environment? Linux distribution, processor architecture, C++ compiler version, Ice version, etc.

Thanks,
Bernard

Linux distribution - Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 6)
processor i686
C++ compiler version - GCC 3.3.4(32 bit)
Ice version - 3.2.1

Hi,

Note that we don't officially support this Red Hat distribution (see this page for a list of supported platforms). It looks like epoll is not supported on your system. You should recompile Ice from sources to use poll() instead. Edit the config/Make.rules.Linux file from your Ice source distribution and add -DICE_NO_EPOLL to the CXXFLAGS macro definition at line 86:

   CXXFLAGS		= $(CXXARCHFLAGS) -ftemplate-depth-128 -Wall -D_REENTRANT -DICE_NO_EPOLL

Once you rebuilt Ice following the instructions from INSTALL.LINUX, you can run the test suite with "make test" to make sure it works.

Cheers,
Benoit.

Hi Benoit,

The issue has been resolved with the CXXFLAG. Thanks very much.
All tests run ok.

Also, noted the platform support disclaimer.

I found two issues in the source files while doing make on Freeze:

1. SharedDbEnv.cpp uses a constant DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE which is not declared
2. Util.cpp uses a constant DB_BUFFER_SMALL which is not declared

Can the constants be removed from the source distribution? I have commented out their references in order to build successfully.

Thanks,
Sandeep

Which BerkeleyDB version do you use?

I recommend to install and use the BerkeleyDB version supported by Ice 3.2.1: BerkeleyDB 4.5.20. You can download it from the Oracle web site or from the "Source Code for Third-Party Software" section of our download page.

Once installed, you can either set DB_HOME in your envionment or edit config/Make.rules to specify the location of the BerkeleyDB 4.5.20 installation before building Ice. See INSTALL.LINUX for more information.

Cheers,
Benoit.
