My guess is that you are missing some packages. The commands below should
get a plain vanilla Ubuntu 14.04 system up an running Thrift with
C++/Java/Python support. If you have conflicting packages already installed
(e.g. an existing different JDK, etc.) you may need to edit.
apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y \
automake \
bison \
flex \
g++ \
git \
libboost1.55-all-dev \
libevent-dev \
libssl-dev \
libtool \
make \
pkg-config \
wget \
\
ant \
maven \
openjdk-7-jdk \
\
python-all \
python-all-dbg \
python-all-dev \
python-setuptools \
python-support \
python-twisted \
python-zope.interface
git clone http://github.com/apache/thrift &&\
cd thrift &&\
./bootstrap.sh && \
./configure && \
make install && \
ldconfig
