I've followed the hivelogic instructions (http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger), using the latest release versions of software where possible. That included Ruby 1.8.5 and PCRE 6.7 (and I think that's it). I've now run into a problem I've seen discussed elsewhere - faulty readline support. Most of the solutions seem to point to this URL for an answer: http://www.nabble.com/Ruby-1.8.4-Mac-OS-X-readline-problems-t801880.html . I'm working my way through the Agile Web Development and attempting to run my server (localhost:3000). I've run the "make test-all" suggested in the URL above, but I'm still unable to get anything to run without the seemingly common error: "dyld: NSLinkModule() error dyld: Symbol not found: _rl_filename_completion_function Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-darwin8.8.1/readline.bundle Expected in: flat namespace" One difference may be that I'm on a Mac Pro (thus an Intel machine). Can anyone help? If I'm asking in the wrong place, please point me in the right direction. Thank you for any help you can provide.

FWIW, I'd rather not use fink or darwinports. I read about the issues with readline in 1.8.4. That - and the fact that such a problem seemed to be so widely understood - is what led me to go with the updated 1.8.5. I'm running make test-all currently. It's been running for nearly 40 minutes. I have a bunch of, well: % make test-all ./miniruby ./runruby.rb --extout=.ext -- -C "./test" runner.rb --runner=console Loaded suite .

The readline "problem" on OS X has nothing to do with ruby 1.8.4/1.8.5/whatever. The issue is that there is a partial "readline" library in /usr/lib (libedit or something...) and that is what your build is linking to by default (as /usr/lib comes before /usr/local/lib in the link path). Rrebuilding using the --with-readline-dir=/usr/local configuration option should fix it (assuming you have installed the true readline in /usr/local). -r

First, "/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin" are the first two items in my $PATH. The Hivelogic procedure makes sure you set your path (about 100 times), so I took care to. Second, following the hivelogic post above, my ruby configure line looked like: /configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-pthread --with-readline-dir=/usr/local I've tried both readline 5.1 and 5.0 with no success. I ran "make test-all" and the results are at http://nslog.com/archives/2006/10/04/building_ruby_rails_lighttpd_and_mysql_on_tiger.php#comments . Thank you for attempting to help. Are there any other suggestions or ideas? I'd really like to begin learning.

I'm fairly confident I've solved the problem: Someone posted here: <http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/129980> and asked someone else if ruby -rreadline -e '1' gave an error. It did to me, so they said to go into ext/readline in the ruby source directory and type ruby extconf.rb and then the <code>make / sudo make install</code> routine. It worked! My local:3000 server doesn't crash and ruby on the command line works.

I just followed the steps from http://www.nabble.com/Ruby-1.8.4-Mac-OS-X-readline-problems-t801880.html and it works. I think I built readline and ruby in that way at the very begin. But surprisingly rebuilding readline and ruby did work! I am running a mac book with intel duo core.

Just as an addition, it might be a good idea to do this in the following sequence from the (ruby source directory)/ext/readline, especially if you've been toiling away for a bit: #make clean #sudo ruby extconf.rb #make #sudo make install Regards

hey buddy, those instructions are two years old try these new ones from hive this year http://hivelogic.com/narrative/articles/ruby-rails-mongrel-mysql-osx worked great for me good luck On 10/4/06, Erik J.

I was having exactly the same issue, Brand new OSX install on a G5, 10.4.9 with all updates applied. I followed the NEW Hive install guide to the letter and ended up with this very same error we are all talking about. I followed the /ext/readline ./ruby extconf.rb directions and it now all works fine. Very strange ! Locomotive was such a sugar treat !
