AIX build box 1 not successfully building

[sxa]

Leaving this open because I've had some issues with build-ppc-osuosl-ppc64-aix-1, and will start properly logging everything in here as I'm starting to lose track. Build machine build-ppc-osuosl-ppc64-aix-2 has been generally ok as far as I can tell.

Are both machines configured with the same playbook?

[jdekonin]

Are your failures on JDK11, looking like this? https://github.com/eclipse/openj9/issues/2468

In setup of OpenJ9 pull request jobs, I could never get a successful jdk11 compile on aix.

@sxa555 could you let me know some details please so I can take a look for you?

[sej-jackson]

It looks like aix-1 has incompatible versions of libgcc & gmp rpms - both systems have libgcc-4.8.5-1.pcc, but aix-1 has gmp-6.1.2-1.pcc (which contains references to symbols _GLOBAL__AIXI_shr_o & _GLOBAL__AIXD_shr_o) whereas gmp-5.1.3-2.ppc on aix-2 doesn't which is why it's not complaining. It appears you need libgcc-6.3.0-1.ppc to go with gmp-6.1.2-1.

I suspect that given what @sej-jackson has found that a library (presumably a dependency of something else) has got updated when I was prototyping some changes for java11 on that machine. Should be easy enough to fix. @mleipe Yes they were originally but I was using the -1 machine to test extra setup which was required for java 11 building and during that likely caused the breakage (the risk of that happening was why I only touched one machine of course)

I will look at either dropping the version of gmp or allowing a later libgccto be installed on that machine (although it's surprising that yum left it in that state)

[sxa]

@jdekonin No I haven't hit that particular failure (yet) At the moment our machines don't have a suitable autoconf that JDK11 likes (See this log) so I almost certainly just haven't got as a far as that error but thanks for the heads-up!

All working ... Closing :-D

Also killed an apparently defunct jenkins slave process that was holding the CPU load at almost 10 on the machine:
