Hi,

the stable-snapshot I downloaded today (18.9.) does not  
compile/install cleanly on my Linux system (uptodate gentoo linux).

Output was:  
install -c -p .ext/common/bigdecimal/util.rb  
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/bigdecimal/util.rb  
install -c -p .ext/common/openssl/bn.rb /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/openssl/bn.rb

Looks like some kind of RDoc problem. Try building without the  
documentation.

Seems openssl/digest.rb get installed correctly.

Can you try removing Makefiles under ext and .ext directory once?

./miniruby -Ilib -run -e rm – -f -r ext/\*\*/Makefile .ext
