Recompiling the fjsonparser

Hi!

1. Post full version of your Vertica instance(with minor fixes).

Hint: select version();

daniel=> select version();
              version               
------------------------------------
 Vertica Analytic Database v7.2.1-1
(1 row)

2. Post your OS distribution + version.

For example:

(~)$ cat << EOF | python
import platform as os
print '*' * 20
print os.linux_distribution()
print os.uname()
EOF
********************
('Ubuntu', '14.04', 'trusty')
('Linux', 'synapse', '3.13.0-74-generic', '#118-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 17 22:52:10 UTC 2015', 'x86_64', 'x86_64')

3. Post content of dir: /opt/vertica/packages/flextable/lib

For example:

(~)$ ls -1l  /opt/vertica/packages/flextable/lib
total 11768
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root       29 Dec 16 02:30 libvertica_flextable.so -> libvertica_flextable.so.7.2.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12048320 Dec 16 01:48 libvertica_flextable.so.7.2.1

3. Post md5sum of /opt/vertica/packages/flextable/lib/libvertica_flextable.so

For example:

(/opt/vertica/packages/flextable/lib)$ md5sum ./libvertica_flextable.so
05e6c13e03cdaae66aac0c78b9dfe431  ./libvertica_flextable.so

4. Post output of file.

For example:

(/opt/vertica/packages/flextable/lib)$ file ./libvertica_flextable.so.7.2.1 
./libvertica_flextable.so.7.2.1: ELF 64-bit LSB  shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=72738bb8a579ebb2f7afa9cf7eec2011f23a1877, not stripped

PS

>> but I have absolutely no idea where the source for fjsonparser might be

It's not open source, actuaally you can't recompile by yourself.

Disclimer: Im not a Vertica employee.

Hi,

  You appear to have experienced an upgrade issue that we're currently investigating.  You actually have the right version of Flex in /opt/vertica/packages, it just needs to get installed:

  /opt/vertica/bin/admintools -T install_package -P default -d <database> -p <password>

  Note: do not uninstall flex - there is no need to uninstall/install.  Just install over the top of the existing old flex package.

  Please let me know if this works.
