I ran into this error

/usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/darwin/x86_64/as for architecture x86_64
/usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as for architecture i386
src/protocol/fastbinary.c:1203: fatal error: error writing to -: Broken pipe
compilation terminated.
lipo: can’t open input file: /var/tmp//ccfANjoF.out (No such file or directory)
error: command ‘gcc-4.2′ failed with exit status 1

setting ARCHFLAGS helped

export ARCHFLAGS=’-arch i386 -arch x86_64′

@Andrew.

I got the same error : “AllocNewConnection: client index = [another number], socket fd = [some other number]“.

Reinstalled thrift package and ran make. It worked fine. Thanks

Somewhere else on the web, folks have recommended installing X11 since this is caused by some python dependency. Id highly recommend against that since X11 is quite central and can screw other things up.

On my Mac, the thrift install hung during make at

(dix) enabling device 0
(dix) enabling device 1
(dix) enabling device 2
(dix) enabling device 3
(dix) enabling device 4
(dix) enabling device 6
AllocNewConnection: client index = 1, socket fd = 9

Somehow the installer then managed to pop up X11, and if I went over to X11 and created a new window, I’d see a new line of

AllocNewConnection: client index = [another number], socket fd = [some other number]

The solution is to SKIP the bootstrap.sh step. If you’ve already run bootstrap.sh, just re-download a fresh copy of thrift.

Thank you very much for posting this. It works like a charm. It would have taken me ages to solve this by myself.

Thanks for posting that! I’m going to try and replicate that tonight – I’ll add your workaround after I check it out myself.
