Solution for Errors 1 and 2: Install git; git x86_64 1.7.4.1 1.el5 can be found in the epel repository (December 2011).

yum install git

make clean

make

Cannot load such file -- spec/rake/spectask

(Thrift 0.8.0, Ruby 1.9.3p0 or p125, error after "make")

   cannot load such file -- spec/rake/spectask

(gem install rspec will install rspec2 which does NOT solve the problem)

gem install rspec -v 1.3.2

make clean

make

gem install mongrel --pre

Building Java Library ........ : no

Solution: Check that the java jdk used is correct and the same as the java runtime environment. Choose the correct one using "sudo update-alternatives --config java". This error can also be seen checking the file /opt/thrift/config.log, the line appears: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:

configure: WARNING: You will need re2c 0.13.4 or later if you want to regenerate PHP parsers

(CentOS 6.3 includes 0.13.5)

Solution: Install re2c (Tool for generating C-based recognizers from regular expressions)

yum install re2c

Building Perl Library ........ : no

(CentOS 6.3; Solution only tried with perl 5.16.1)

Solution: Install the perl module Bit::Vector

perlbrew switch perl-5.16.1
cpan
install Bit::Vector
