Serving: Bazel Build Error on Centos 7

[mogumogu2333]

Hi,

I'm trying to build the basic serving example on a centos server.

The model export pass, but fail on build server while I'm running this command:

bazel build -c opt //tensorflow_serving/model_servers:tensorflow_model_server

The error message is about
C++ compilation of rule '@org_tensorflow//tensorflow/core/platform/cloud:http_request' failed

Details as following:

ERROR: ~/.cache/def2095ca8f472068ce1fdce87d2ee7d/external/org_tensorflow/tensorflow/core/platform/cloud/BUILD:49:1: C++ compilation of rule '@org_tensorflow//tensorflow/core/platform/cloud:http_request' failed: gcc failed: error executing command

Here's the installed curl:

yum list installed | grep curl

Any ideas about this?

Thank you very much.

Try running sudo apt-get install curl and sudo apt-get install libcurl3-dev

Packages already installed. Did I miss anything?

[kirilg]

Looks like "The alias CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2 was added in 7.43.0"

Could you try updating the libcurl-devel package?

I had to compile curl to make it work in Centos 7. I used the following script, maybe it will be helpful.

Thanks @jarutis!

Thanks guys, @kirilg @jarutis It works. @jarutis the script is really helpful.
