At fedora17,Phoronix3.8 failed to install test benchmarks

[limin]

At fedora17, when try to install benchmark (such as: phoronix-test-suite install compress-lzma), It forked lots of processes to check g++ version, and then failed to install. But if we build the compress-lzma from source package, it works well. Is there someone meet the same issue or know the root cause? Thanks!

I could not get the Phoronix test suites (that had to be compiled) to work on Fedora 16.
So I installed a Fedora 17 system and have the same problem. This example is the "scimark2"
suite. I can do the compile myself ("make" as per the README instructions) and the actual test
runs just fine. The run is done by an ordinary user-id (not root).

Suggestions appreciated.

Hi guys,

I am seeing the same issue on Fedora 17
Have you found any solution for the problem?

$ tail ../hmmer-1.1.0/install-failed.log
hmmer-2.3.2/testsuite/titin.fa
hmmer-2.3.2/testsuite/viterbi_exercise.c
hmmer-2.3.2/COPYRIGHT
configure: configuring HMMER for your system.
configure: This is a full source distribution - using full config
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

Moreover, when I invoke
$ ./phoronix-test-suite install pts/hmmer

and try to execute any command in different shell I get
$ ps -u
bash: fork: retry: No child processes
bash: fork: retry: No child processes

Thanks,
Alex

Some week ago I have sent a bugreport to the pts mailiglist. As I have not got any response yet, I try it in this forum.

Here is the mail:


Hi list members,

I am the package maintainer of phoronix-test-suite on Fedora. I have encountered a problem on my Fedora 17 box.

OS: Fedora 17
Package version: phoronix-test-suite-4.0.1-1.fc17 (currently in the updates-testing repository)

Problem description:
When running the c-ray benchmark the test gets stuck during the 'installation' phase. The error log (c-ray-1.1.0/installed-failed.log) says:
...
c-ray-1.1/sphfract.jpg
c-ray-1.1/x86/
c-ray-1.1/x86/c-ray-f.exe
/tmp/pts-compiler-mask-c-ray1.1.0//gcc: fork: retry: No child processes
/tmp/pts-compiler-mask-c-ray1.1.0//gcc: fork: retry: No child processes
/tmp/pts-compiler-mask-c-ray1.1.0//gcc: fork: retry: No child processes
/tmp/pts-compiler-mask-c-ray1.1.0//gcc: fork: retry: No child processes
/tmp/pts-compiler-mask-c-ray1.1.0//gcc: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable


The same error is reported on [1] and [2]. As [2] suggests, I removed '/usr/lib64/ccache' from my PATH variable and every thing works as expected. [2] also gives more details on the cause.


Regards

Markus
