Thanks for the reply Michael,
I was missing the gcc-c++, everything else I had installed already.
Shouldn't the makefile intelligently detect and report this?
So with your below help it goes farther, but then during the make it
reports it's missing the command yacc (shouldn't the makefile check
and report this also?). So, I responded by installing byacc, flex,
and bison since I saw them all in the configure script.
I also saw an error on line 20056 and 20057 because MONO was
undeclared. I commented this out and now have thrift (and scribe)
working properly on Cent.
Hopefully this may help others that build it on 64-bit Cent. Thanks
for the help!

Autoconf gives some warnings but they do not prevent thrift from
compiling (although I did not try using mono bindings):
$ cd ./src/thrift-git
$ ./bootstrap.sh

If this token and others are legitimate, please use
m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.

Subject: Thrift on CentOS 5.2? And as clean as possible
Hey guys,
I've been wrestling with getting thrift installed on a minimal install
of CentOS 5.2 64-bit. With the default boost package from the Cent
repo it provides 1.33.1, the minimum requirements for thrift but the
thrift ./configure script still complains about it not being valid.
I went down this route once before with another CentOS virtual
machine, ended up having to manually compile and upgrade glib to
install the latest boost, which then broke a bunch of other things
which I started trying to recompile, and ended up failing miserably.
I scrapped that VM and am starting over.
So, anyone have instructions/advice for getting it compiled/working on
CentOS 5.2?
Or, instead of continuing to wrestle with compiling thrift, does
anyone have or know where I can grab a thrift CentOS 5.2/RHEL4 RPM?
I'm thus far unable to find it in RPM form and I have to keep this
install as clean as possible because I will be replicating it via
puppet to 30+ machines and soon thereafter, many, many more. So, RPMs
will be simple, recompiling a ton of packages and/or making my own
RPMs will not be as easy/simple.
Thanks,
Andrew
