[Perfparse-users] Compiling PP 0.105.5 on Fedora Core 3

[Nick S. <ni...@sm...>]

Hello!

After a bit of problem with a disk, I took the opportunity to upgrade to 
FC3, upgrade MySQL, recompiling Nagios (OK) and recompile PP.

However, I have some trouble - perhaps someone has encountered this? 
(configure output and make output attached).

Configure seems to progress normally. In make, I get a load of warnings 
like:

make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/perfparse-0.105.5/libpp_common'

Which I have ignored for the time being. However, later on it comes to a 
halt at:

Now, I got past by linking libXpm.so to libXpm.so.4.11 in 
/usr/X11R6/lib, but then it halted at libX11, and so on - getting 
confused at the versioned so libraries.

Is this a function of the compiler, loader, Makefile or what? Any ideas?

Thanks
Nick

Ben, could you have a look at that ?

Nick : this is probably a problem on FC because you should not have libXp=
m.so.4.11
without libXpm.so.4. The library is libXpm.so.4 and should be found under=
 that name.
Having libXpm.so.4.11 is a convenient way to manage versions easily.

If you upgraded, maybe you still have libXpm.so.4.11 from an older instal=
lation, but you
did not install the Xpm packages ? Don't forget to install the libxpm-dev=
el package.
Same thing for libX11.

It makes no sense.  Line 105 is no different to 104 or 106, which work. 
     These have not changed in months.  Further, if I execute your exact 
gcc command on my setup, it works.  So the problem is not programmatical.

May I ask what version of gcc you are using?

Any other ideas Yves?

Ben.

Nick,

I am sorry but I am out of options.  I can't see anything wrong with the 
code, or replicate your error.

You have a very recent gcc.  I don't think this is likely to contain 
errors.  It does seem to contain some checking feature to which previous 
versions did not contain.  We will have to work out what it is about our 
code that your compiler does not like.

In the mean while, do you have an older version of gcc which you can use 
to compile PerfParse?

Regards,

Ben.

I have one last idea : suppose there is a wrong character in that line. A=
 character you
cannot see. It sometimes happen when you copy/paste code from unsafe sour=
ces.

Either edit config_file.c with a hex editor and check that all the charac=
ters are
allowed, or delete that line and type it again by hand. No copy/paste.

Also try to remove that line to see if there are still warnings.

This is my last idea, but if something strange happen, it can give us oth=
er ideas... :)

Well, I tried commenting out the first line that reports the error, and 
typing in by hand again above... and exactly the same problem. All very 
odd. Howerer, since it's just a warning, compilation went ahead OK and I 
installed it all OK, and it;s been collecting data that I can graph for 
a few days now. I'll try and poke around a bit later to see if I can pin 
   it down further.

I was going to say it's not caused any problems (and it probably is 
unrelated), but I just found that:

The first database purge I attempted: Marked a host for deleting that I 
am no longer capturing data for. Then ran perfparse-db-purge, and got:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Deleting data flagged for deletionAn error occured with the SQL:

   "DELETE perfdata_service FROM perfdata_service,perfdata_host WHERE 
perfdata_service.host_name = perfdata_host.host_name AND 
perfdata_host.is_deleted = 1"

Failure Message:

   "Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails"

Is this USER ERROR? ;-)

Cheers
Nick

Nick,

Very glad it does work.  My guess is that your version of gcc, which has 
only be released a short time, completed some very deep checking.  This 
is where this warning was found.  We know the code works, but we will 
have to look into it further to find out what gcc has found.

Or possibly being the latest gcc, it's a bug in gcc.  But thankfully I 
think this unlikely :)

Sorry about the deletion problem.  Know bug.  Will be fixed on next version.

Please keep us informed of any PerfParse problems and solution you find, 
and enjoy the product.

Kind regards,

Ben Clewett.
