Integration Test Failure: CentOS

Issues with default-centos-510:

Autogen / Autoconf

I, [2014-06-12T15:08:08.554866 #894]  INFO -- default-centos-510:   1) Failure:
I, [2014-06-12T15:08:08.554886 #894]  INFO -- default-centos-510: recipe::ark::test#test_0016_uses autogen.sh to generate configure script [/var/chef/minitest/ark/test_test.rb:90]:
I, [2014-06-12T15:08:08.554900 #894]  INFO -- default-centos-510: Expected path '/usr/local/test_autogen-1/configure' to exist

The recipes/test.rb does not setup autogen for RedHat family machines less than an 6.0. I assume that CentOS is blocked in that family. The comment says that the autoconf version is far too old.

ark 'test_autogen' do
  url 'https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/tarball/master'
  extension 'tar.gz'
  action :configure
  # autoconf in RHEL < 6 is too old
  not_if { platform_family?('rhel') && node['platform_version'].to_f < 6.0 }
end

On CentOS-510, I see the autoconf version as 2.59. On Fedora-19, I see the autoconf version as 2.69. I don't know if that is too old.

I commented it out the not_if to see if it would install the file at the path and continue through the test but it does not. I think this test may be platform dependent. I wish there was a test to validate this comment.

I found the issue was simply to add build-essentials as a requirement of the cookbook.
