Problem installing Ice 2.0 on Fedora Core 3

[umber]

I have problem installing Ice 2.0 on Fedora core 3 (updated with rawhide). I tried both gcc and icpc, but got the same error message as blow:

The icpc version is 8.1 Build 20041019Z.
The gcc version is 3.4.3.
The glibc version is 2.3.3.

I also tried the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL enviroment variable but with same result. Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks.

Hi,

I tested Ice 2.0 with gcc 3.4.3 and Intel 8.1 on RedHat 9.0 without problems, so perhaps it's a glibc issue. I don't think we have FC3 installed yet, but we probably will install it soon.

Meanwhile, all I can suggest is to build with debugging and see if the stack trace in the core file gives you any clues.

Take care,

Marc, thank you very much. I did what you directed and got the stack trace as below:

#0 0x00558c67 in Slice::Preprocessor::checkInputFile (this=0xfeffe600)
at Preprocessor.cpp:323
323 return true;
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00558c67 in Slice::Preprocessor::checkInputFile (this=0xfeffe600)

I tried to build and run the Ice test suite with a clean FC3 installation ... and no problem to report (except for -ldb_cxx that needs to be renamed -ldb_cxx-4.2 in config/Make.rules).

The gcc version in FC3 is:
gcc (GCC) 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)

glibc's version is glibc-2.3.3-74.

How did you get gcc 3.4.3? Did you build it yourself?

Cheers,
Bernard

I 'update' my system daily with their rawhide. This finally bite me I will see if the problem will be gone very soon. Otherwise I will reinstall it.

Today I tried to compile ICE 2.0 again. To my surprise it finished without any problem But the Intel C/C++ compiler still has same old problem. My settings now are:

gcc version 3.4.3 20041125 (Red Hat 3.4.3-7)
glibc-2.3.3-84

Thanks for all the help here.
