pts/aio-stress fails to install

[latebeat]

Hi Michael,

I'm having problems installing the pts/disk suite. In particular pts/aio-stress fails to install.
When I call to install dependencies it exits with no errros so I'm assuing it's not a dependency problem.

phoronix-test-suite install pts/aio-stress

Phoronix Test Suite v3.6.1

The following tests failed to install:

        - pts/aio-stress-1.1.0

I'm using kubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.2.0-32 and here's the install log:

any support would be really appreciated as there's nothing I could find on google.

I'm having this exact same problem. Were you able to find a solution?

Unfortunately, I wasn't and I had to leave aio-stress out of my benchmarks. Let us know if u find something as well!

I'm having this same problem, but I'm having problems installing the pts/cairo-demos suite on Fedora.

Ok I solved it.

The problem is that for some reason, gcc is not including the libraries that aio-stress requires to compile. You can see this by compiling the aio-stress.c file manually with the additional flags: "-laio" and "-lpthread"

Doing this will result in a working aio-stress binary, so you need to pass these flags to the main system gcc when it used by phoronix.

This is how I did it:

First, make sure that libaio-dev is installed

sudo apt-get install libaio-dev

Then re-name gcc "gcc1"

sudo mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc1

Then create a file named "gcc" and paste in this python code:

sudo vim /usr/bin/gcc

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import subprocess

def main():
	args = ['gcc1']
	args.extend(sys.argv[1:])
	args.extend(["-laio", "-lpthread"])
	print args
	subprocess.call(args)

if __name__ == '__main__': 
	main()

Finally, set the correct permissions:

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/gcc

Then you should be able to install the test successfully:

phoronix-test-suite install-test pts/aio-stress

NOTE: Obviously this will change the system-wide gcc to include the two libraries "laio" and "pthread". Once the test has been successfully installed, you can put gcc back to normal with:

sudo mv /usr/bin/gcc1 /usr/bin/gcc

Hope this is helpful! I'm so pleased to have this finally working!

Great job and thanks for sharing! I will try it as well.

Thanks for your help, but the issue still exists on my Fedora system.

If you already the aio library installed there is a cleaner way to get the compiler the right arguments. You just need to change the file: ~/.phoronix-test-suite/test-profiles/pts/aio-stress-1.1.0/install.sh to be the following (note the "-laio -lpthread" has been moved to end of the cc command):

#!/bin/sh

cc -Wall -o aio-stress-bin aio-stress.c -laio -lpthread
echo $? > ~/install-exit-status

# add support for allowing aio-test-file to be on removable media devices
echo "#!/bin/sh
./aio-stress-bin \$@ aio-test-file > \$LOG_FILE 2>&1
echo \$? > ~/test-exit-status
rm -f aio-test-file" > aio-stress
chmod +x aio-stress

That got the test to work find on my Ubuntu 12.04 system.
