Trouble Shooting on Open Solaris

Boost Build Errors

Boost python: '--> cannot appear in constant expression'

description: You get a compile error when building boost python like:

    ./boost/python/converter/rvalue_from_python_data.hpp:99: error: '->' cannot appear in a constant-expression

solution: You are likely compiling boost with the default gcc on Open Solaris (gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-20050802)). The only solution found is to upgrade to gcc 4.4

Boost python: 'non-static const member const boost::python::type_info'

description: You get a compile error when building boost python like:

    "/usr/gcc/4.3/bin/g++"  -ftemplate-depth-128 -O3 -finline-functions -Wno-inline -Wall -pthreads -fPIC  -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_PYTHON_SOURCE -DNDEBUG  -I"." -I"/usr/include/python2.6" -c -o "bin.v2/libs/python/build/gcc-4.3.3/release/threading-multi/converter/registry.o" "libs/python/src/converter/registry.cpp"

    /usr/gcc/4.3/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.11/4.3.3/../../../../include/c++/4.3.3/bits/boost_concept_check.h: In member function ‘void __gnu_cxx::_SGIAssignableConcept<_Tp>::__constraints() [with _Tp = boost::python::converter::registration]’:
    /usr/gcc/4.3/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.11/4.3.3/../../../../include/c++/4.3.3/bits/boost_concept_check.h:209: note: synthesized method ‘boost::python::converter::registration& boost::python::converter::registration::operator=(const boost::python::converter::registration&)’ first required here 

solution: You are likely compiling boost with the more recent gcc 4.3.3. that can be download like:

$ pfexec pkg install gcc-43
# while configuring bjam like:
using gcc : 4.3.3 : /usr/gcc/4.3/bin/g++ ;

The only solution known is to upgrade to gcc 4.4

Mapnik Configure errors

description: Scons can't "find" C++ apps during configure. But the config.log shows some odd errors with g++ like:

ld: fatal: file /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so: version `GCC_4.2.0' does not exist:
	required by file /opt/ts/gcc/4.4/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.11/4.4.4/../../../libstdc++.so

solution: Basically, Scons is running compile tests and they fail because g++ is broken because our custom built g++'s c++ standard lib is linked again the system g++, and we need to get it to link its own g++ version. Normally export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ts/gcc/4.4/lib/ would fix this by prioritizing linking, but on solaris LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not take precedence like on linux (read: it's broke). So, the (only known) workaround is to forcefully change the symlink:

    pfexec rm /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so
    pfexec ln -s /opt/ts/gcc/4.4/lib/libgcc_s.so /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so

Mapnik Compile errors

description: When configuring Mapnik SCons fails on boost and the 'config.log' reports:

    Undefined                       first referenced
     symbol                             in file
    std::ctype<char>::_M_widen_init() const/usr/local/lib/libboost_regex.so
    std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >& std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >::_M_insert<unsigned long>(unsigned long)/usr/local/lib/libboost_regex.so
    std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >& std::__ostream_insert<char, std::char_traits<char> >(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, char const*, int)/usr/local/lib/libboost_regex.so

or

    Undefined                       first referenced
     symbol                             in file
    std::bad_alloc::what() const        /usr/local/lib/libboost_iostreams.so

solution: The Mapnik SCons dependency checks are using an old version of g++ and you need to force gcc44:

python scons/scons.py CXX=/opt/ts/gcc/4.4/bin/g++

Mapnik Runtime errors

Locale name not valid error

description: Mapnik seems to compile okay but running it immediately results in:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
    what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

solution: Something is broken (perhaps in the dev upgrade) with the locale, so you must set it:

# setting as C works, POSIX likely will as well:
export LANG="C"
export LC_ALL="C"

PSQL Error: could not receive data from server: Error 0

description: Mapnik is able to connect to a postgres/postgis database but queries fail with "Error 0":

An error occurred: PSQL error:
could not receive data from server: Error 0
Full sql was: 'SELECT AsBinary("way") AS geom,"name","place" from 
      (select way,place,name,ref
       from planet_osm_point
       where place in ('country','state')
      ) as placenames WHERE "way" && SetSRID('BOX3D(-135 -45,-90 0)'::box3d, 4326)'

solution: Postgres was likely built without thread support, which surprisingly is not on by default, but the majority of packages use. Go back and re-configure and install postgres:

./configure --enable-thread-safety
make && sudo make install
