Hi all, I am using Scientific Linux 6 (RHEL 6) and I was able to install Bird 1.3.6, but when I try to install Bird 2.0.7 I get same errors? Why? Thanks in advance, Fabiano

what does "same errors" mean exactly? Which errors? Do you have specific error messages? Run-time or compile-time? Note that RHEL 6 and derviates are close to EOL (end of November 2020), consider moving to CentOS 8 for continued security updates (there you also could get BIRD 2.0.7 via the EPEL 8 repository to reduce your maintenance work).

Good evening Robert, It was 'some' errors. When I do 'make' and 'make install' I get this errors: https://pastebin.com/DnLjC36T Anyway I was able to install the 1.3.6 version without problems.

as Ondrej already mentioned, the GCC 4.4 shipped by CentOS 6 is too old (as I said before, CentOS 6 reaches end of lifetime in November 2020) to build BIRD 2.0.7 as I had to learn (while trying to maintain BIRD 2.x for EPEL 6 repo): http://trubka.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2019-August/013634.html In RHEL 6 and CentOS 6, you could get e.g. GCC 8 via the Devtoolset 8, but I don't know if Scientific Linux contains SCLs. On CentOS 6 this works like this: - yum install centos-release-scl - yum install devtoolset-8 - scl enable devtoolset-8 bash - "gcc" is now version 8, thus building BIRD 2.0.7 should work now Btw, it seems "yum install centos-release-scl" for Scientific Linux 6 is this (untested) - and it uses CentOS 6 SCL packages under the hood: - wget http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6/external_products/software... - yum localinstall yum-conf-softwarecollections-2.0-1.el6.noarch.rpm However I'm not keen to assist with above scenario. I highly recommend to move to CentOS 8 as soon as possible (once you are on 2.0.7, this would be IMHO a good next step). Regards, Robert

Hi RHEL / CentOS 6 is no longer supported, too old. We have build tests for CentOS 7, which should work. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
