OK, I'm trying to test out the Solr additions, and I'm a total novice here so please bear with me.
Of course I'm going to take advantage of others doing the hard work and try out the patch from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-723. But before I do that I wanted to build a simple app to be sure that problems I see with Solr are not issues with my setup so I chose Zookeeper (with some coaching from Roman, thanks!). I got the source and built Zookeeper, following the instructions here: https://cwiki.apache.org/BIGTOP/building-bigtop-on-ubuntu.html So far so good. But that page then instructs me to cd ~/bigtop/output/bigtop-utils sudo dpkg --install *.deb cd ~/bigtop/output sudo dpkg --install **/**.deb But I have no bigtop-utils directory in output (although I do have zookeeper). Hmmm, seems like I should "make bigtop-utils", and there seems to be a target for that in bigtop.mk. Unfortunately every time I try that (either 'make bigtop-utils' or 'make -f bigtop.mk') I get "No rule to make target 'bigtop-utils' " I'm sure I'm messing something up. Do I need bigtop-utils at all? Or is it sufficient to just go into bigtop/output/zookeeper and dpkg from there. And I'm also assuming that I need to do the specific installs for zookeeper (and Solr when I get there) rather than try to install everything. Also note I'm also a Ubuntu newbie, running all this in VirtualBox on OS X. I'm reasonably familiar with *nix though. Thanks, Erick
