Hi. (am I supposed to say hi on mailing lists?) Building 6.1.3 and 5.0.14 VSO on Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04. Builds on 32 bit Ubuntu presents no problems with either release of VSO.
It's worth mentioning right away I'm using the -with-iodbc=DIR option. (=DIR because for some reason in 10.04 the make isn't able to figure the absolute path when it needs it) However, we're planning on going live using 64-bit compilations on 64-bit servers. The other combinations were done because I'm stuck working the angles on this. The targeted combination is 5.0.14 VSO on 10.04 Ubuntu 64-bit. This is where it gets weird. I can make and make check 5.0.14 on Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit with no problems BUT on 10.04 it compiles clean but I can't run a successful make check. There're a couple flashes of errors near the beginning of the check and then things go well until it eventually grinds to a halt(ish) when "Running a subset of TPC-D queries against 1111" And this is where it gets weirder still. If I run the make on 10.04 64-bit, tarball the make directory over to a 9.10 64-bit OS and run the make check there, it runs clean! Is there a quirk in Ubuntu that could be causing this? Is it the test suite on 10.04? The 10.04 compile tests clean on 9.10. Can I trust the binaries on 10.04 if I package them up and install them using Debian utilities? Regards, Brian Dondo
