I'm trying to install ICU 49 on CentOS release 5.8 (Final). The only way I know how to do it is compiling by source.

I do the following:

./runConfigureICU Linux
gmake

And get the following error towards the end of the compile:

I've found absolutely nothing on Google to help me. I'm using icu4c-49_1_2-src.tgz from http://site.icu-project.org/download/49

  • What centos version are you using?
    – Tom O'Connor
    Nov 1, 2012 at 15:38
  • @TomO'Connor CentOS release 5.8 (Final)

  • It'll probably take me roughly 30-40 minutes to grab a vagrant box of 5.8 final, build out and test this, but I think it's worth poking at.

  • @TomO'Connor Well I'd definitely appreciate any help. I'm going to continue trying things, see if I can't figure it out as well

I might be a little late here, but I experienced this exact same problem building ICU 49.1.2 on 32-bit SLES 11 SP2.

After a bit of research and the bug report below, I tried updating my gcc/g++ installation. http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40134

Using gcc/g++.46 (after performing a "make clean"), I was able to build the libraries. Obviously, this might be a little late for the OP, but perhaps someone else will benefit.

My suggestion (while I try and recreate your error). Don't.

I've found the requisite libraries in one of the yum repositories.

libicu.i386 : International Components for Unicode - libraries
libicu-devel.i386 : Development files for International Components for Unicode
libicu-doc.i386 : Documentation for International Components for Unicode

Ignore that those ones are i386, just the old server I'm using. 

Name       : libicu
Arch       : i386
Version    : 3.6
Release    : 5.16.1
Size       : 13 M
Repo       : installed
Summary    : International Components for Unicode - libraries
URL        : http://www.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/
License    : X License
Description: International Components for Unicode - libraries.

I'm lead to believe that it's in the default Centos repositories. I advise you try searching yum for libicu.

I'll have a go at reproducing the error when building from source.

  • I need 4.0+ due to using it with PHP & Symfony

  • Bugger. This is one of many reasons why I detest Centos.

  • Yeah, me too. Next server I get is going with Ubuntu

  • I just installed 4.8 instead and it worked fine

  • Not that it answers the question, but fair enough.
