@monicsh We know about this issue and a fix is coming from rocksdb. It should land June 7 or sometime this weekend.

I think you have forgot to pull and update the submodules of the git repository. Have you been following our build guide?

[monicsh]

I have followed the build guidance for Ubuntu platform as per given. It was cloned with --recurse-submodules, so all submodules are pulled into the local directory.

@monicsh Just to confirm, did you try the build again yesterday? it was broken last week, but I was able to build from a clean system yesterday. The build is fixed now, it says failing in circleci but that's because of a couple of flaky tests.

@mzbeck Yes, build is successful (on commit : b0e709a). Thanks for your help.
