you need to look further up. At the end of the log configure dumps the environment - various defines. Scroll up until you see the command that fails. Or start from the top and scroll down until you see the environment dump, the failed command should be right above.

I have gone over every document concerning building mariadb using src rpm.  I am trying to build mariadb against RHEL 6.  I have run rpmbuild against the src rpm and I get this error everytime:

error:  configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

In the source directory you can find config.log file. And in it you will find the reason for this error.

Actually, after more investigation, I have no clue why gcc4 is referenced since Centos, Scientific Linux, and RHEL 5 does not have a gcc4 executable. On Wed, Jul 20, 2011 at 10:00 AM, bwellsnc wrote:

Wow, I'm not thinking at all.  Found the problem. There needs be an entry in the SPEC file like below:

The problem is that the entry before references gcc4 which in RHEL 5 and RHEL 6 there isn't a gcc4 executable.

Yes, I do believe a "RHEL" person is needed on this. I don't understand why the build process has been made so complicated. It appears that some things have been purposely removed or not configured in the spec file. Like this one: rpm2cpio: /root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/%{compat50rpm}: No such file or directory There is nothing concerning compat50rpm in the SOURCES, only the mariadb tgz and an ourdelta rpm file which will not install because it's looking for dependencies for RHEL 5. Also, the upstream_source variable was not configured, there was 2 Source entries that pointed to this which broke because they where basically the same. Not sure if anyone else is having these types of problems with the src rpm, but this is a little frustrating. On Wed, Jul 20, 2011 at 11:08 AM, Sergei Golubchik wrote:

Hi, bwellsn

To solve this you'd better have somebody who uses RHEL to answer.

I only pointed out how to get a bit more information than "cannot create executables" from config.log.

Thanks adam. I will take a look. Probably something simple I missed. Thanks again. On Jul 21, 2011 5:00 PM, "Adam M. Dutko" wrote:

Ok, after doing a few more changes, I have gotten a sucessful build of MariaDB on RHEL 6. In order to get this done, I had to download this file and set it as Source1: mysql-libs-5.1.52-1.el6_0.1.i686.rpm This is the libs from scientific linux. I chose this because of scientific linux's decision to not mess to much with RHEL. The only thing that will be a problem will be postfix. The problem comes when you try to re-install it. Postfix requires mysql-libs and has been built against mysql-libs that comes with RHEL 6. On Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 8:02 AM, bwellsnc wrote:

After a little bit more tinkering, I was able to build the rpm's.  The problem is that RHEL 6 has a built in dependency for mysql-libs which caused the install to fail.  It's trying to find libmysqlclient.so.16.  This also causes another problem, postfix.  Postfix is the default on RHEL 6 and it's been built with mysql.  So if you remove mysql-libs it removes postfix.  CentOS has purposely taken out the mysql requirement in there version of postfix, so this shouldn't be a problem. Scientific Linux and RHEL keep it.
