title: Apache Thrift make check stuck
body: <p>I'm trying to install Apache Thrift. During <code>make</code> I got a message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>An error occured while trying to compile with the C extension enabled. Attempting to build without the extension now</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>but then after that, it did finish the build without an error.</p>
  
  <p>Then I ran <code>make check</code>. The test seems stuck with repeated messages of:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Timeout alarm expired; attempting to unblock transport</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I'm running this on Ubuntu, nothing fancy, but I can't find any documentation about it.</p>
