Andres, I haven’t played with this for a while. There are instructions for ubuntu at http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2011/06/install-thrift-ubuntu-1010-maverick/ and now days you can install thrift with homebrew on the mac http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

In reply to nm. I haven't looked into this for a while. We aren't using the Thrift interface at this point. We may use it again at some other time.

I don’t suppose you have found a site somewhere that has packaged Thrift as a Ubuntu package?

Thank you. Ubuntu/Thrift/Boost installation = PITA. I’m only out a couple of hours trying to build from scratch. Found your post. Minutes later I’m moving on to the next step: “Figure out how to test and use Thrift!” (WTF is boost, anyway?)

Thanks for the link!
I probably should have mentioned the build-essential package (Installs a bunch of build tools and compilers) on Ubuntu as well, but this slipped my mind because I assumed anyone compiling c++ would have already installed the compilers.
I’ll go back and add it for the sake of completeness.

Good post!
