Summary: install lisaac fails: lisaac fails executing external command. 
Target Milestone: None
Category: None


Initial Comment:
I have tried to install 0.39 tar.gz, and the installation process fails. I works on debian 5.0.3 as normal user.


I have chosen to run install_lisaac as a user. Here's the end of the process:

Step 4/5 : Compilation of Lisaac compiler.
==========================================
  Execute command `gcc -O2 bin/lisaac.c -o bin/lisaac' (please wait ...)
  Auto-install fail !
  You want to compile a `bin/lisaac.c' file.


Step 5/5 : Compilation of Shorter tool.
=======================================
  Compile `shorter' tools for your system (please wait ...)
  Sorry, `shorter' not ready...

Welcome to the Lisaac World !                           
=============================                           
  Installation successfull.                             
  Run `lisaac' to compile.                              


With some difficulty I can have a (not really) running lissac, but it always fails when launching gcc.

§gcc -O2 bin/lisaac.c -o bin/lisaac
§rm make.lip && cp make.lip.sample make.lip
$ lisaac src/make.lip -shorter  -boost -o bin/shorter -gcc -Isrc/.
Depending pass: ........................... (27)
Executing pass: *...............*....*.. (24)
 => 5 second(s).
run `gcc bin/shorter.c -o bin/shorter -lm  -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -Isrc/.'
FAILUREThe compiled install_lisaac.c fails compiling lisaac with gcc.

gcc launched manuallly works fine.
gar!
$ gcc bin/shorter.c -o bin/shorter -lm  -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -Isrc/.
$

I can use lisaac on the hello_world example, but the same external command launching error appears:
$ lisaac hello_world
Depending pass: .......... (10)
Executing pass: *........*.. (12)
 => 1 second(s).
run `gcc ./hello_world.c -o ./hello_world -lm '
FAILURE!

But I can compile it manually:
$ gcc ./hello_world.c -o ./hello_world -lm 
$ ./hello_world 
Hello world !

Yesterday, I have spend some hours to try to discover what was wrong, and today I just try and everything works fine, install_lisaac and LIP.
The occupation of the memory is the same, and i don't have change anything.
My shell is bash and I have all compiling environnement installed. 

However I have seen on some forum that other people have same problem on Debian.

So, even if it seems it's an isolated case,  I post what I observed.

Even the line "ENVIRONMENT.execute_command("cp make.lip.sample make.lip") which don't require memory, was failing. strace show that the system call clone() which is call by fork() which is call by system() which is call by ENVIRONMENT.execute_command() return -1 with ENOMEM.
So it seems there was a problem with memory, but 
1) I had 1GB of RAM free
2) cp don't need much memory

And about LIP, the first thing that come to my mind is that you maybe have a special shell. I know that lisaac works fine with bash and zsh. xoswald at debian.org

Hi,

Im running a debian sid 64 and don't have any problem with the latest rc release.

Are you sure that you have the full gcc compiler. I suggest to install 'aptitude install build-essential' and btw, Lisaac need at least 750Mb of ram for information. (That's due to global compilation)

Greetings,
xoswald at debian.

I have same bug on Debian Sid. I don't know exactly what informations can be usefull, I have 2GB of memory.
In addition, the built-in function "run cmd:STRING :INTEGER" of LIP code seems not working (it don't execute the command given and return a non-zero value), so the function "add_lib" of the given make.lip return an error with any argument, for now I have removed the body.

Please details what informations you need.
