On Skynet's cleo (ia64-Linux-rhel), there seems to be a race condition which can cause an error during a parallel make install of MPIR 2.1.3.
I did cd ~buildbot/tmp wget http://www.mpir.org/mpir-2.1.3.tar.gz tar zxvf mpir-2.1.3.tar.gz mv mpir-2.1.3 mpir-2.1.3-cleo cd mpir-2.1.3-cleo ./configure --prefix=$HOME/tmp/prefix_cleo --enable-gmpcompat make -j4 Then I ran this script: #!/bin/bash RUNS=100 JOBS=4 for I in `seq 1 $RUNS`; do rm -rf $HOME/tmp/prefix_cleo make -j $JOBS install > zinstall.log.$I 2>&1 CODE=$? echo Run $I of $RUNS: code $CODE if [ $CODE = 0 ]; then rm -f zinstall.log.$I fi done which yields errors (exit status 2) on runs 8, 12, 57, 64, and 99. I've attached one of these logs. The only, common error seems to be make[4]: Entering directory `/home/buildbot/tmp/mpir-2.1.3-cleo' (cd /home/buildbot/tmp/prefix_cleo/include && rm -f gmp.h && cp mpir.h gmp.h) cp: cannot stat `mpir.h': No such file or directory make[4]: *** [install-data-hook] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/buildbot/tmp/mpir-2.1.3-cleo' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'mpir.h' '/home/buildbot/tmp/prefix_cleo/include/mpir.h' make[3]: *** [install-data-am] Error 2 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... /usr/bin/install -c .libs/libmpir.so.8.2.3 /home/buildbot/tmp/prefix_cleo/lib/libmpir.so.8.2.3 We first noticed this problem when building Sage with MPIR 1.2.2 on cleo and iras (ia64-Linux-suse). I don't know if the error is specific to Itanium. (We also use --enable-cxx=yes --enable-shared --disable-static when configuring MPIR for Sage, but the setup above seems to be enough to trigger the problem for me.) Please let me know if you need further information. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
