Redhat Enterprise 8 Build problem

[ustadny]

I am building from scratch on a RedhatEnterprise 8, even though there is an RPM available The RPM fails to install as it runs into some issues with libreadline.so.7() not available, when RHEL8 has libreadline.so.8 and just creating a virtual link does not help.

A similar problem happens with a build from scratch. See this ->

Searching the web, it seems the symbol UP is defined in libtinfo, and one needs a shared library linking. Any help?

Not exactly related to the readline issue, but did you see #3055?

[ustadny]

3055 seems to have tbb issues. I had the same issue but it got resolved after "yum install tbb-devel".

So, I am really stuck with libreadline and libtinfo not getting linked. May have to do with my libreadline.8 being too new...that's a thing if you can believe it.

Did you also try the cmake build?

[ustadny]

RHEL8 does not have Ninja. so I removed -GNinja, but it still looks for ninja. See here:

cmake -S M2/M2 -B M2/M2/BUILD/build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool. CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! See also "/root/M2/M2/BUILD/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

You need to delete the CMakeCache.txt file before running cmake again.

[ustadny]

blas-devel and gdbm-devel not found in RHEL repositories. Also, my IBM system does not allow the following command: subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-*-optional-rpms

[mahrud]

Surely there's some linear algebra package with development headers in RHEL that you can install. CMake should recognize any. As for gdbm, you might need to build it from source or install the centos package.

@mikestillman Incidentally, why is factory linking readline? Are we using factory in a way that it would need readline? Can we pass --with-readline=no to the factory build?

[ustadny]

@mahrud RedHat and IBM customer service installed gdbm for me. For BLAS, I installed OpenBLAS(from scratch) : https://github.com/OpenMathLib/OpenBLAS. However, cmake does not recognize this:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message): Could NOT find BLAS (missing: BLAS_LIBRARIES) Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:594 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE) /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindBLAS.cmake:1045 (find_package_handle_standard_args) /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindLAPACK.cmake:265 (find_package) /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindLAPACK.cmake:291 (_lapack_find_dependency) cmake/check-libraries.cmake:44 (find_package) CMakeLists.txt:70 (include)

[mahrud]

OpenBLAS is supported by CMake, but it's possible that the installation path is unusual on RHEL, in which case setting the right environment variable should tell CMake where to find it. See this page.

Lol. After all that I am back at READLINE !! Hopefully, this is again some misplaced include files:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message): Could NOT find Readline (missing: READLINE_INCLUDE_DIR READLINE_LIBRARY)

[ustadny]

after it complained there was no (GMP_ROOT GMP_INCLUDE_DIRS GMP_LIBRARIES GMP_LIBRARY_DIRS GMP_VERSION_OK)

I installed gmp-6.1.0. But it still gives this error:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message): Could NOT find GMP (missing: GMP_LIBRARY_DIRS) (Required is at least version "6.0.0")

[mahrud]

Where are most of your libraries installed? e.g. where are gmp.h and libgmp or readline.h and libreadline?

[ustadny]

gmp.h and readline.h are in /usr/local/include libreadline is in /usr/lib64

I can move these .h files to /usr/include ?

[ustadny]

I reinstalled gmp.6.1.0, this time specifying that it be installed in prefix==/usr So now I have it in /usr/lib64 as well as the gmp.h in /usr/include. I also ran libtool --finish /usr/lib64 Still cmake says GMP_LIBRARY_DIRS missing.

Could you upload CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log and CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log from the build directory?
