jemalloc and other errors making redis on centos 6.4

I ran into the same issue on centos 6.4 and had to run the following commands:

cd deps
make hiredis jemalloc linenoise lua geohash-int
cd ..
make install

I am not sure why the deps where not built, I thought they were in the past. However, this got me up and running with the version of redis that I needed.

I had the same errors after a first failure caused by a missing package (gcc).
So after installing gcc, another make attempt gave these errors :

zmalloc.h:50:31: error: jemalloc/jemalloc.h: No such file or directory
zmalloc.h:55:2: error: #error "Newer version of jemalloc required"

These errors were caused by some files left here after the failure of the first make command. Apparently I had to clean these files, with the command :

make distclean  

And then make again, and it worked.

On this system /tmp was mounted noexec.

Redis runs a number of shell scripts from /tmp during its install, so the solution is to remount /tmp without the noexec flag. This does this temporarily:

mount -o remount,exec /tmp

I should add that this solution applies to all redis 2.x and 3.x versions (4.x is os far unknown to me)
