How to fix distcc error

Question

I'm trying to get distcc working between two machines CLIENT and SERVER I "think" I have it setup right but I am still getting this error

(dcc_build_somewhere) Warning: failed to distribute, running locally instead

NOTHING is being compiled on the server.

My configuration is as follows

CLIENT = 192.168.0.14 SERVER = 192.168.0.15

/etc/default/distcc on SERVER

 STARTDISTCC="true"
    ALLOWEDNETS="192.168.0.0/24" // Also tried CLIENT IP here
    LISTENER="192.168.0.15" // SERVER IP
    NICE="10"
    JOBS="16"
    ZEROCONF="false"

client - yes I know that its set to only compile on the server currently

DISTCC_HOSTS="192.168.0.15"
/etc/distcc/host set to 192.168.0.15
$HOME/.distcc/host set to 192.168.0.15

command

make -jx CC=distcc 

I have tried on different software repos to see if there was some problem with an individual repo but the problem persists no matter the package.

EDIT The failed to distribute error is a client side error. Server side the log indicates

distccd[1046] (dcc_job_summary) client: 192.168.0.14:40732 COMPILE_ERROR exit:1 sig:0 core:0 ret:0 time:94ms gcc certs/system_keyring.c

Answer 1

I fixed this by upgrading my version of GCC. The client and Server are now running 5.x.
