Assembler missing on smartos 16 machines?

[targos]

node-test-commit-smartos is consistently failing on smartos16-64 with this message:

04:37:19 python ./configure 
04:37:20 WARNING: C++ compiler too old, need g++ 4.9.4 or clang++ 3.4.2 (CXX=g++)

Re-running playbook on machines, hopefully may fix

SmartOS rebuild: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-smartos/18225/

[targos]

Looking good so far. Thanks!

[maclover7]

Rebuild at https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-smartos/18225/ looks to be passing, going to close this out for now. Please reopen if happens again

It's back....

Is the right thing to do this?

ansible-playbook playbooks/jenkins/worker/create.yml --limit "test-joyent-smartos16-x64-1"

Or something else? I'm not sure if that's the playbook to rebuild in this case. (Doesn't work for me in any event, but I'll try to figure out why that playbook doesn't work when run from my machine if it's the right one to run.)

Seems like pkgin in llvm-3.8.0nb2 would be likely to fix the issue. Going to try that on test-joyent-smartos16-x64-1 and see what happens.

[Trott]

Nope, didn't fix it.

[Trott]

I did pkgin rm llvm-3.8.0nb2 to remove the package I installed.

The problem appears to be that configure is not detecting that gas is installed. /opt/local/bin/gas --version reports the version as 2.26. The script wants 2.23 or later, but it appears that get_gas_version is returning 0, so something is up in that function I guess?

[Trott]

I was stepping through the Python code and this started working. I hope someone fixed it... because otherwise... this is mysterious, in a bad way. :-D

[Trott]

Only login besides me is from Cambridge, Massachussetts. Sounds like @refack fixed it?

[refack]

Sorry I'm trying to fix it, but getting weird stuff

[refack]

As in I have no idea why it sometimes work, and sometimes not.

[refack]

Well it is nodejs/node#20394.
In some situations on smartos you cannot change the locale.

In some situations on smartos you cannot change the locale.

Interesting. Any idea what those situations are?

[Trott]

Looks like it works with setting LC_ALL to en_US.UTF-8 instead of just en_US.
