Install locks up my server

[Timo Sirainen]

No idea. config.guess is generated by autotools, so I don't think I can really affect it anyway. Also it works fine at least in CentOS 6.7 & 6.9. My guess is also that it might work ok in CentOS 6.6 and the brokenness is somehow specific to your system.

>>> I think I remember seeing this before, but unfortunately can't remember what the solution was. Maybe it was something something messed up in the OS or in the build directory. Are you compiling from the tarballs? So it's the "configure" that fails? Also if you run "./config.guess" manually? What's the output if you run "bash -x ./config.guess"?
