Error jemalloc/jemalloc.h: No such file or directory when making Redis

Question

I'm try to setup my Redis server, when execute make command, got error: "jemalloc/jemalloc.h: No such file or directory when making Redis", I have tried all steps I can find, such as make distclean or make MALLOC=libc. I'm working on CentOS, it is working on my another Ubuntu server.

System information: Linux ec4t02229 3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Mar 3 00:04:05 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Below is my output, any suggestion would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Selecting a non-default memory allocator when building Redis is done by setting the MALLOC environment variable. Redis is compiled and linked against libc malloc by default, with the exception of jemalloc being the default on Linux systems. This default was picked because jemalloc has proven to have fewer fragmentation problems than libc malloc.  

To force compiling against libc malloc, use:  

% make MALLOC=libc  

To compile against jemalloc on Mac OS X systems, use:    

% make MALLOC=jemalloc

same error I was also in while doing build over redis-6.2.0 .

By executing make distclean I was out from the error

[manjunath@beta-test redis-6.2.0]$ make distclean
