Simon South commented on THRIFT-2447:
-------------------------------------
Judging by Arun's install log he is running CentOS 5, which (looking at [the
repo|http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/os/x86_64/CentOS/]) ships with GLib
2.12. But the function
{{[g_ptr_array_new_with_free_func|https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Pointer-Arrays.html#g-ptr-array-new-with-free-func]}}
wasn't added to GLib until version 2.22, hence the undefined reference.
If Thrift intends to support CentOS 5 the generated code will need to provide
an alternative implementation that doesn't use this function. Presumably this
will mean adding code to object destructors that manually frees the elements of
any {{GPtrArray}} the object contains.
The immediate workaround is of course for Arun to upgrade either [the GLib
library|https://developer.gnome.org/glib] or [the operating
system|http://www.centos.org/] on his server, but I realize this may be
impractical.
