make fails on CentOS 4.8

[pascalopitz]

I tried the usual ./configure, make, make install, but it cops out with error:

Build failed:  -> task failed (err #1): 
    {task: cxx platform_linux.cc -> platform_linux_4.o}
make: *** [all] Error 1

Strange! Can you find out where PR_SET_NAME is defined on your system? grep -R PR_SET_NAME /usr

[pascalopitz]

I forgot to mention, it's a CPANEL Vhost. Below the grep output:

Had a read up on that.

http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/prctl.2.html

Does PR_SET_NAME only come since Linux Kernel Linux 2.6.9?

[pascal@vps ~]$ uname -r
2.6.18-028stab070.5

[ry]

but your computer is 2.6.18...

[pascalopitz]

exactly, that's what I thought might be the reason that it isn't set. I'll set up a CentOS 4.8 VM from scratch and try and compile it on there, to see whether it's a general centOS issue. Will report back when done.

[pascalopitz]

Same problem, even though the VM I created had PR_SET_NAME and a different kernel version.

Waf: Leaving directory `/root/node-v0.2.3/build'

Hope this helps

I think I am having the same problem and this way over my head. It could be my host.

This is still an issue with 0.4.2:
