Hi all,

I need to install the latest memcached version (1.4.20) on a number of machines in this environment. There are only rpm’s of this app for RHEL 6. But we need to install the latest memcached on a number of RHEL 5 machines. To be specific, they are OEL 5.7 hosts.

I’ve installed all of the developers tools that I would need.

But when I go to build the RPM I am getting the following error:

gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -DNDEBUG -m64 -O2 -g -pipe -Wall
-Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector

RPM build errors:

And I’m hoping if I share with you the spec file that I’m using, I might be able to get some help with this. I am not sure where the problem is.

Here’s the spec file I’m using:

# Authority: dag
# Upstream: Brad Fitzpatrick

### perl-AnyEvent is rfx on EL5, and so memcached must be as well
%{?el5:# Tag: rfx}
### EL6 ships with memcached-1.4.4-3.el6
%{?el6:# Tag: rfx}

%ifarch %{ix86}
%define build_64bit –disable-64bit
%else
%define build_64bit –enable-64bit
%endif
