[Gems-users] Ruby compilation problem with Fedora Core 6

["Lide Duan" <leaderduan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have been using GEMS for some days. All the related research was on SuSE 10 with GEMS1.4 and Simics2.2.19, and everything worked fine. Now I need to install GEMS1.4 on an Intel 8-core server which runs Fedora Core 6 system (64bit). I followed the steps I previously performed on SuSE, including installation of 
gcc3.4.1 and Simics2.2.19 for x86-linux. However, when I tried to make the MOESI_CMP_directory, I got the following errors:

Writing C files...
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::length_error'
  what():  basic_string::_S_create
make[1]: *** [generated/MOESI_CMP_directory/generated] Aborted
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/duan/GEMS1.4_copy/ruby'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Is it a problem due to using the server system? I also noticed that in common/Makefile.common GEMS treats the HOST_TYPE as amd64-linux, but it's definitely an Intel machine. Anybody has some idea?

Thank you.
