Mongrel on AIX

Rails
1

Trying to get fcgi and apache to play nicely on AIX has turned nasty, so
I’m switching my hopes to mongrel for a solution. I’ve managed to get
all the gems and dependancies and everything set up, Or think I have.
There were a couple of errors during the install. Listed below.

gem install mongrel.gem Attempting local installation of 'mongrel.gem' Building native extensions. This could take a while... cc: not found

make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

lib/mongrel/rails.rb:135:49: Skipping require of dynamic string:

But it does say “Successfully installed mongrel”
Now when I try and run mongrel I get this message.

mongrel_rails start -d /usr/local/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.12/lib/mongrel/rails.rb:28: uninitialized constant Mongrel::HttpHandler (NameError) from /usr/local/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in `require' from /usr/local/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.12/bin/mongrel_rails:4 from /usr/local/ruby/bin/mongrel_rails:18

Has anyone else managed to get mongrel running on AIX (5.3)?
Have I missed something obvious in the error messages?
Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks
Tom

Hey Tom,

Can you try the most recent Mongrel (0.3.12.1)? It fixes this Rdoc
error.

That class loading error pops up with a few people and I’ve never been
able
to figure out why. What’s your ruby version? Do you know if it was
compiled with gcc4?

Hi Tom,

I’m no expert (just started playing with mongrel myself) but it looks
to me that you don’t have a compiler available - mongrel has a C-based
request parser that needs to be compile during installation. It might
be as simple as path issue to your compiler.

Paul.

What’s your ruby version?

1.8.4

Do you know if it was compiled with gcc4?

We got the binaries from a very nice man who compiled it with IBM visual
age.

Paul - I’ll pass your comments onto our sysadmin and see if he can fix
it. Thanks both of you for the help I’ll let you know how I get on.

Cheers
Tom
