Thanks, this was very helpful. I followed exactly except up to the actual download of thrift. The link didn’t have the 0.2.0 version, so I downloaded the 0.5.0 version. The only difference is that you don’t need to do the ./bootstrap.sh command and can go straight to to the ./configure command.

This is because you dont have correct pkg.m4 file. Do the following

If you don’t have “MacPorts”:http://www.macports.org/, install it. T

sudo port install pkgconfig

Go to your thrift root directory
cp /opt/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4 aclocal/

Run the following again
./bootstrap.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

hey…I’m this close to getting the thrift installed. I too spent a whole day before stumbling to this site…my basic problem was not having xcode installed properly….I was missing all gcc and make commands….now got boost, libeven and ran ./bootstrap.sh….but when I run ./configure, I get this error at the very end…../configure: line 16615: syntax error near unexpected token `MONO,’

./configure: line 16615: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(MONO, mono >= 2.0.0, net_3_5=yes, net_3_5=no)’

Hi, when I run bootstrap.sh.. i get this…
~/coder/thrift-0.2.0]$./bootstrap.sh
glibtoolize: You should add the contents of `./aclocal/libtool.m4′ to `aclocal.m4′.
glibtoolize: You should add the contents of `./aclocal/ltoptions.m4′ to `aclocal.m4′.
glibtoolize: You should add the contents of `./aclocal/ltsugar.m4′ to `aclocal.m4′.
glibtoolize: You should add the contents of `./aclocal/ltversion.m4′ to `aclocal.m4′.
glibtoolize: You should add the contents of `./aclocal/lt~obsolete.m4′ to `aclocal.m4′.

any suggestions?

I got same error about the mismatch of libtool version. The fix is to download the latest Thrift from http://instant.thrift-rpc.org/

Hi, I have no problems running ./bootstrap.sh and ./configure for Thrift. However, when I run make, I get the following error. I am on Snow Leopard. I cannot find any site that mentioned this issue. Appreciate your feedback.

libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.2.4, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.2.6.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.4
libtool: and run autoconf again.
make[3]: *** [thrift] Error 63
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I’m glad everything worked out for you! Yah, I’ve stopped using macports because I find its often more trouble than its worth! I’ll update the tutorial to include your advice. Thanks!

Great Tutorial, Thanks a bunch!
Just to help anyone else reading this,
- don’t use macports to get the sources (there are quite a few version inconsistencies i’ve encountered)
- if you have python that you downloaded in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework even though it maybe the same version as the one included in OSX, i encountered build errors when thrift was building the python packages

Just follow this article completely and you should be set! Thank you!!
