Problems installing memcached

[marklcfc]

I admit I don't fully know what I'm doing, I am following this - http://www.kutukupre...cachememcached/

Everything worked up till the make and make install parts, where I received the following errors.

Does anyone know whats causing it? Has it gone wrong or is that normal??

[Miuku.]

Before you do anything else; what distribution / base OS are you using - to understand why I'm asking is because almost every single distribution has a pre-built package made for memcached (and pretty much everything else in the world).

You don't need to compile things by hand (nor should you), you just install the suitable package and off you go.

If you don't know, usually cat /etc/*release* will tell you.

[marklcfc]

It's a Linux system. What do you mean distribution? Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

What do I need to do exactly?

[Miuku.]

A Linux distribution is a collection of software under the same banner, for example Ubuntu, openSUSE and Redhat are various Linux distributors/distributions - what they do is they package, maintain and release these "distributions".

What we need to figure out before you do anything, is who made the distribution you are using, usually you can find this out either by asking your service provider (if this is a web hotel or something you bought as a service), the person who gave you this box or by running (as a normal user) in a terminal this command; cat /etc/*release* , what you should get from it might look something like this;

openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64)

VERSION = 12.1

CODENAME = Asparagus

NAME=openSUSE

VERSION = 12.1 (Asparagus)

VERSION_ID="12.1"

PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE 12.1 (Asparagus) (x86_64)"

ID=opensuse

If it returns nothing or an error, then we'll have to figure out another way, for example uname -a might give us hints as to what distribution it is.

Now the reason why I'm asking you to do this, is because we can simplify installing the whole memcached thing considerably by using software packaged and tested for that particular Linux distribution. This will remove the need to manually compile, install and maintain the software - the package management (think of it as a software installer/updater) will take care of this for you. The only thing you have to do is to configure the various aspects of the software after it has been installed to your liking.

[n_K]

You have no errors, you've installed it perfectly fine haha.

Though I'd recommend membase (http://www.couchbase.com/membase) if you're just trying out memcached, it's got a lot of extra features and is fully compatible.

[marklcfc]

Just ran this in putty, did I do it right?..

root@server [~]# cat /etc/*release*

cat: /etc/lsb-release.d: Is a directory

CentOS release 5.8 (Final)

root@server [~]#

[Miuku.]

Yes, I would imagine CentOS already has memcached in the base repositories and they've most likely been setup for you.

Does; yum search memcached return anything? You should be able to just install the whole thing with; yum install memcached

Now all this is coming from memory since I haven't used RedHat/CentOS in years - you should familiarize yourself with the documentation by the way, there's A LOT of it.

[marklcfc]

root@server [~]# yum search memcached

Well, as n_K said - your compilation worked fine and it got installed, I was merely trying to walk you through on how to use CentOS's own packages (and teach you a few things on the way) because it's the "right way" of doing things.

You should take a peek at your memcached documentation to see how it works.

Also if you're interested to learn on how CentOS (and most Linux distributions work) in general, take a peek here; http://wiki.centos.org/Documentation - might save you some time and headaches in the future :)

[marklcfc]

Ah right, I wasn't sure if it worked fine as I thought some of those looked like errors.

[n_K]

This is how you would know something failed/went wrong;

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[2]: *** [src/somefile] Error 1

make[1]: *** [src/somefile.dir/all] Error 2

make: *** [all] Error 2

[Site Lab]

And memcached wont be in the default CentOS repos, you need something like rpmfusion or EPEL for that.
