Thread: 8.3.6 build error on Debian Lenny
Hi - I'm trying to build 8.3.6 on a box recently upgraded from Sarge to Lenny and I get the following error during compile: make[4]: Entering directory `/backup/source/db/postgresql-8.3.6/src/backend/utils/adt' gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -I../../../../src/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -I/usr/local/lib -c -o geo_ops.o geo_ops.c /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3.2/cc1: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libmpfr.so.1: undefined symbol: __gmp_get_memory_functions ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql-8.3.6 --with-python --with-perl --with-openssl --with-libraries=/usr/local/lib --with-includes=/usr/local/lib dpkg -S /usr/lib/libmpfr.so.1 libmpfr1ldbl: /usr/lib/libmpfr.so.1 Any ideas? Google isn't telling me much that I can understand. :( Thanks, Josh

[ blink... ] There's no reason for a compile to be looking into shared
libraries. What I think must have happened here is that this reflects a
bogus function call internally in gcc itself. Which probably means that
you have a gcc version that's out-of-sync with your libmpfr.so.1 version
(whatever the heck that is). I'd suggest asking around among some
Debian experts, or just reinstalling instead of upgrading.

I'll try Debian lists / irc - hopefully don't get snarks. :) Thanks, Josh

I wouldn't be surprised if it had kept your old version of gcc etc. in case you needed that specific version for some reason. A quick bit of apt searching should tell you. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd

Searching on google it seems this is a typical error message when you have a hand-compiled gmp installed locally in /usr/local/lib as well as a system gmp installed in /usr/lib. So you may be getting one version of libmpfr and a mismatched version of libgmpMPFR. I would imagine this could cause problems if one is compiled statically and the other dynamically. (Or if they're both static but you list them in the wrong order on the command-line.) > Reinstalling would be rough - this box is remote, I felt lucky to get > through the upgrade over ssh. It's usually unnecessary to reinstall Debian. I've been running unstable since 1996 and only had to do it once and only because I had a filesystem corruption. > I'll try Debian lists / irc - hopefully don't get snarks. :) Yes well... -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's On-Demand Production Tuning

Thanks for the pointers Gregory / Richard - I found a rogue gmp install in /usr/local that was conflicting so removed that and now pg builds fine. Josh

I had exactly same error (missing symbol __gmp_get_memory_functions)
while compiling libsndfile-1.0.20
This old message helped a lot. libmpfr was compiled with gcc-4.3.3
and I had updated to gcc-4.4.1
I recompiled mpfr and the error was solved.
(I am still using PostgreSQL-8.3.4 on Scientific
Linux 5.x which I compiled with gcc-4.1.2)
Thank you for this nice mailing list :-)
MPFR is a portable library written in C for arbitrary precision
arithmetic on floating-point numbers. It is based on the GNU MP library.
It aims to extend the class of floating-point numbers provided by the
GNU MP library by a precise semantics. The main differences with the
`mpf' class from GNU MP are:
* the `mpfr' code is portable, i.e. the result of any operation does
not depend (or should not) on the machine word size
`mp_bits_per_limb' (32 or 64 on most machines);
* the precision in bits can be set exactly to any valid value for
each variable (including very small precision);
* `mpfr' provides the four rounding modes from the IEEE 754-1985
standard.
In particular, with a precision of 53 bits, `mpfr' should be able to
exactly reproduce all computations with double-precision machine
floating-point numbers (`double' type in C), except the default
exponent range is much wider and subnormal numbers are not implemented
but can be emulated.
