Known Issues¶
Cross Platform¶
- Compiling some packages—in particular
afw
—requires a large amounts of RAM. This is compounded as the system will automatically attempt to parallelize the build, and can cause the build to run extremely slowly or fail altogether. On machines with less than 8 GB of RAM, disable parallelization by settingEUPSPKG_NJOBS=1
in your environment before runningeups distrib
.
Red Hat (and clones) specific¶
Older platforms¶
- Not a bug as such, but if you have a problem building on RHEL 6 check the Pre-requisites to make sure sure you are using a more recent version of gcc (minimum required is 4.8)
- curl looks for certificates in
/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
rather than/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
. The solution is to copyca-certificates.crt
toca-bundle.crt
.
OS X specific¶
New versions¶
- El Capitan came out after our testing period, and there are known issues (DM-3200) that will be addressed in the next release.
Older platforms¶
Some old installations of XCode on Macs create a
/Developer
directory. This can interfere with installation.Macs must use the
clang
compiler, notgcc
. [DM-3405]One version of this problem occurs when using Macports, which, by default, will create a symlink from
/opt/local/bin/c++
to its version ofg++
. Try removing that, starting a new shell, and restartingeups distrib install
.
