Fedora jdk install creates circular symlinks, causes test-c++-libhdfs not to build ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-901 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-901 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: build Affects Versions: 0.20.1 Environment: Fedora 2.6.26.8.fc8; hadoop 0.20.1; java 1.6.0_17 Reporter: robert Cook Priority: Minor installed hadoop; needed javac; installed jdk export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_17 ant clean ant ant -Dcompile.c++=true -Dlibhdfs=true test-c++-libhdfs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [exec] libtool: link: gcc -g -O2 -DOS_LINUX -DDSO_DLFCN -DCPU=\"i386\" -m32 -I/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_17/include -I/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_17/include/linux -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -m32 /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_17/jre1.6.0_17/lib/i386/server -Wl,-x -o hdfs_test hdfs_test.o -L/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_17/jre/lib/i386/server /home/cook/Desktop/hadoop-0.20.1/build/c++/Linux-i386-32/lib/libhdfs.so -ljvm -ldl -lpthread -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/home/cook/Desktop/hadoop-0.20.1/build/c++/Linux-i386-32/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/home/cook/Desktop/hadoop-0.20.1/build/c++/Linux-i386-32/lib [exec] /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_17/jre1.6.0_17/lib/i386/server: file not recognized: Is a directory [exec] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [exec] make: *** [hdfs_test] Error 1 BUILD FAILED note: insertion of /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_17/jre1.6.0_17/lib/i386/server is spurious ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tracked bug down as follows: for some reason, install of jdk creates a symlink from within jdk directory to existing jre impl jre1.6.0_17 and a symlink from within jre directory to jdk. I suspected the recursion likely messed up a "find" somewhere; deleted symlink in jdk then ant clean ant ant -Dcompile.c++=true -Dlibhdfs=true test-c++-libhdfs BUILD and TEST ran successfully then just to be sure I put the symlink back; reran above; same failure -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
