Build on Red Hat CentOS

Build on Red Hat/CentOS

Use the Aerospike libevent client to write applications to store and retrieve data from an Aerospike database cluster.

The Aerospike libevent client library requires the following libraries present on the local machine:

Library Name	.rpm Package	Description
glibc	glibc
libssl	openssl	Required for RIPEMD160 hash function.
libevent	libevent	libevent

To get the glibc and libssl dependencies:

sudo yum install openssl-devel glibc-devel

Getting the libevent requires downloading the source and building.

To download and extract the latest libevent library:

wget https://github.com/downloads/libevent/libevent/libevent-2.0.21-stable.tar.gz
tar xvf libevent-2.0.21-stable.tar.gz

Make and install the libevent library:

cd libevent-2.0.21-stable
./configure PREFIX=/usr
make
sudo make install

On a 64 bit system, you may need to create the following symlink :

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libevent-2.0.so.5 /usr/lib64/libevent-2.0.so.5

Download the Aerospike libevent client library package from here.

The client package for Linux is:

citrusleaf_client_libevent2_{VERSION}.tgz

To extract the package contents:

tar xvzf citrusleaf_client_libevent2_{VERSION}.tgz

This places the package contents in the following directory:

citrusleaf_client_libevent2_{VERSION}

Change to the Aerospike libevent directory and make the library:

cd citrusleaf_client_libevent2_{VERSION}
make

The library is created in the lib directory:

ls lib
libev2citrusleaf.a

On a successful build, run examples in the example directory:

cd example4
make
./example4
