Build Impala On Rhel 5.5

Building Cloudera Impala on RHEL5.5

Note 1

requires the libevent1.x-dev package to work with Thrift v0.9

because the stuct  'addrinfo' in libevent2 will cause the ambiguous problem compiling with thrift 0.9 

I have Test libevent-1.4.14b-stable.

Note 2

llvm compile require a higher version gcc than that one released with RHEL5.5.

I have test these package below

 gcc-4.8.0
 gmp-5.0.5
 mpc-1.0.1
 mpfr-3.1.2

other build impala infomation refer to

build-impala-on-CentOS-6.3

enjoy it!
