Error while installing GEM WMQ

Ruby

Hi,

I am trying to install Ruby WMQ on RHEL6 and SLES11, and it is failing
on
both environments.
Here is what I get:

The scenario is for SuSe Ver 11.

Do you have the ruby development libraries installed? In Debian like
distros, this is called something like ruby-dev. Perhaps ruby-devel in
RH like?

Kristofer,

I am not aware of such library.
I search from the root dir find / -name ruby-dev and it came out empty.

The version of ruby that I have installed is:
ruby -v
ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18 revision 30909) [x86_64-linux]

I can try installing such library if I can find it.

Keep in mind that this is failing on SuSe and Redhhat. Both latest
level!

Thank you

That will tell you all RPMs installed that have ‘ruby’ in their name.

In this case, that likely won’t help because he is not using Red Hat’s
ruby package, but some other Ruby in /usr/local (while it could be
from a 3rd-party RPM, it’s probably a source install).

Ruby S., you installed ruby through something like “./configure
&& make && make install”?

The first problem is an incompatibility between this gem’s code and
1.9.2’s default load path (in 1.9.2 “.” is not in the load path so the
require fails). I worry that there will be more serious complications
to come, but we can get past this by running extconf directly:

cd /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rubywmq-1.0.0/ext
ruby -I. extconf.rb

At this point it fails for me, becuase I do not have the WebSphere MQ
libraries:

....rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/gems/rubywmq-1.0.0/ext/generate/generate_reason.rb:6:in

`initialize’: No such file or directory - /opt/mqm/inc/cmqc.h
(Errno::ENOENT)

But, I assume you do; so, you should get farther down the road.

I’m not sure, but I think the problem is the removal of ‘.’ from the
loadpath in 1.9.
Is there any way to adjust the loadpath with a commandline option to the
gem
command (like the -I switch for ruby)?
Or is the rubywmq gem not 1.9 compatible and one has to adjust the
sourcecode?

Do, in a terminal, the following:

rpm -qa | grep ruby

That will tell you all RPMs installed that have ‘ruby’ in their name.
Look for one that should be the development libraries for ruby.
According to a quick search on rpm.pbone.net, the library you should
want to see is ‘ruby-devel’. If it isn’t installed, you’ll need to use
yum or yast2 (Does Suse use yast? I only used RHEL/Fedora…) to install
it. The command for that should be something like ‘sudo yum install
ruby-devel’.

First, my thanks to everyone for your help.

Kristofer:

This is inteteresting. The rpm -qa returns a differet version of ruby
than
the ruby -v, as you can see below.
I want to use the latest. So I want to remove version 1.87. However, I
want
to make sure that I don’t break something else on the way!

rpm -qa | grep -i ruby
ruby-devel-1.8.7.299-5.el6_0.1.x86_64
ruby-libs-1.8.7.299-5.el6_0.1.x86_64

Brabuhr:

I executed the commands you provided and this is the output:

cd /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rubywmq-1.0.0/ext
[root@oc7871667644 ext]# ruby -I. extconf.rb

Does this mean that I now have a functional Ruby-WMQ? Or do I need any
further command? Normally gem install does it all and I don’t really
know
at what stage I find myself now.

Also, answering your question, I did install ruby via:
“./configure
&& make && make install”
######################## ==========================

In general, is it safe to remove the old version, 1.8.7 and how should I
do
it? Via the rpm -e?

Again, thank you all for your help. It is really appreciated!

So far, you just used extconf to create the Makefile for building the C
code.

Next you’ll need to run ‘make’ in that directory; if that works, try
‘make install’.
