Thanks for your suggestions. They did not do the trick though. Some more detective work got me down to ../base/bin/python ../modules/cctbx_project/libtbx/configure.py dials failing and both libtbx.python ../modules/cctbx_project/libtbx/configure.py dials and LD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib ../base/bin/python ../modules/cctbx_project/libtbx/configure.py dials succeeding. A run with LD_DEBUG=files identified the problem: /lib64/libboost_python.so: error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS4_FromEncodedObject (fatal) CentOS7 comes with its own set of incompatible boost libraries. I've put a fix in: http://sourceforge.net/p/cctbx/code/22986/ Installation on CentOS7 now works for me. As far as I could tell this does not break other things. -Markus ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Nigel Moriarty [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2015 18:36 To: cctbx mailing list Subject: Re: [cctbxbb] CentOS7 bugs (cont.) libtbx.configure --scan-boost phenix Cheers Nigel --- Nigel W.

Running the linux installer unceremoniously ends in a segfault. The installer is even broken when it is build on the same system using bootstrapped cctbx/dials. The broken installer can be traced to the DIALS extension loader, which uses python’s pkgutil loader, which triggers some library scanning routine within python, which in turn falls over boost_python_meta_ext.so and dies with the strace shown in the email below. The installer can be successfully “fixed” by deleting build/lib/boost_python_meta_ext.so during the installation. So I see two issues here: 1. What is broken with build/lib/boost_python_meta_ext.so that it causes segfaults on CentOS7? 2. Why is this not covered by any test? Neither of the following caught anything: a. python bootstrap.py builder=dials tests b. libtbx.run_tests_parallel module=cctbx module=dials module=boost_adaptbx [NB: The previously reported 3 broken tests on CentOS7 are red herrings and are all fixed by running ‘yum update’] I don’t know how to proceed from here. -Markus From: [email protected]mailto:[email protected] [mailto:[email protected]mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 29 September 2015 13:29 To: [email protected]mailto:[email protected] Subject: Re: [Dials-support] CentOS7 bugs (cont.)
