Which Makefile? This is what I did: cd /usr/local/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/atk-0.90.6/ ruby extconf.rb And that generated a Makefile. I attached it. Is that what you asked for? ---

This is how i was able to install it: gem install gtk2 – –with-ldflags=’-L. -Wl,-O1 -Wl,–as-needed -rdynamic -Wl,-export-dynamic’ Thanks ---

I found the way to remove “-Wl,–no-undefined” , it was in the second Makefile where ldflags options are defined. I removed it and compiled atk with the following result: # make (cd ext/atk && make) make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/atk-0.90.6/ext/atk' x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -shared -o atk.so rbatktable.o rbatkvalue.o rbatkdocument.o rbatkimage.o rbatkstate.o rbatk.o rbatkselection.o rbatktextrectangle.o rbatkcomponent.o rbatkregistry.o rbatkgobjectaccessible.o rbatkimplementor.o rbatknoopobjectfactory.o rbatkobject.o rbatkrelationset.o rbatktext.o rbatkhypertext.o rbatknoopobject.o rbatkinits.o rbatkstateset.o rbatkeditabletext.o rbatkrelation.o rbatkstreamablecontent.o rbatkhyperlink.o rbatkutil.o rbatkobjectfactory.o rbatkaction.o rbatktextrange.o -L. -L/usr/lib64 -Wl,-R/usr/lib64 -L. -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -rdynamic -Wl,-export-dynamic -pthread -Wl,-R -Wl,/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64 -lruby18 -latk-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 -lpthread -lrt -ldl -lcrypt -lm -lc make[1]: Leaving directory`/usr/local/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/atk-0.90.6/ext/atk’ make -f Makefile.lib make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/atk-0.90.6' make[1]: Nothing to be done for`all’. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/atk-0.90.6’ Then i ran ‘gem install atk’ hoping that it’ll use the already compiled stuff, but failed again, and the Makefile is regenerated, containing the “-Wl,–no-undefined” option. How can i prevent that option from being regenerated? Thanks Balint ---

Hi, The attached Makefile is what I asked for. Thanks!!! I’ve released 0.90.8 gem. Since the release, you don’t need to add --with-ldflags. ## Thanks, kou In [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) “Re: [ruby-gnome2-devel-en] failing to install atk from gem” on Tue, 01 Feb 2011 08:25:02 +0200, ---
