I really don't know what the problem is.

I have PHP installed with APC maybe thats the problem...

I am running on Ubuntu Server.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

It looks like your libtool library is messed up. You should try removing libtool from apt-get and compiling it manually.

I got the same error under debian lenny.

The problem is the libool 1.5.26 installed via apt which raises the errors.

To build thrift download the libtool 1.5.24 source from

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-1.5.24.tar.gz

build it (./configure;make) and copy the libtool executable to the thrift source directory after you > ran./configure.

Now 'make' should work and generate the thrift executable.

Answer is simple. Install package python-dev. I think you also need to install python before.
