I was able to build ruby 1.8.4 on my Tiger (OSX 10.4.3) box here. Everything built fine, and it appears that the readline support works as well. But when i run “make test-all” I get Inconsistent results. Ocne I’d get the following failures: 1. Failure: test\_cgi(TestWEBrickCGI) [./webrick/test\_cgi.rb:27:in `test_cgi' /Users/seanwolfe/src/ruby-1.8.4/lib/net/http.rb:1049:in`request’ /Users/seanwolfe/src/ruby-1.8.4/lib/net/http.rb:2104:in `reading_body' /Users/seanwolfe/src/ruby-1.8.4/lib/net/http.rb:1048:in`request’ /Users/seanwolfe/src/ruby-1.8.4/lib/net/http.rb:1033:in `request' /Users/seanwolfe/src/ruby-1.8.4/lib/net/http.rb:545:in`start’ /Users/seanwolfe/src/ruby-1.8.4/lib/net/http.rb:1031:in `request' ./webrick/test_cgi.rb:27:in`test\_cgi’ ./webrick/utils.rb:26:in `start_server' ./webrick/utils.rb:34:in`start\_httpserver’ ./webrick/test\_cgi.rb:24:in `test\_cgi’]: \<"/webrick.cgi"\> expected but was \<"\n\n Internal Server Error\n \n # Internal Server Error \n Premature end of script headers: /Users/seanwolfe/src/ruby-1.8.4/test/webrick/webrick.cgi\n * * * \n \n WEBrick/1.3.1 (Ruby/1.8.4/2005-12-24) OpenSSL/0.9.7b at\n 127.0.0.1:59698\n \n \n\n"\>. 1.

That said, I built on Panther. Likely a GCC 4.0 issue, did you try building with 3.3? ---

Hmmm… Wierd, I just built 1.8.4 without the CFLAGS using GCC 4.0, and then installed it. I tested it a bunch, the first 2 times had failures, but on all the following runs, they all pass. Here were the previous 2 failures. 1.

I’m not sure if it was because something else was running and didn’t let go of the previous Ruby libs in memory, and now has been refreshed, because I can’t get the tests to fail now. Sean ---

Hmmm… So this may have something to do with the already installed copy of Ruby that is in my /usr/bin path? I’ve tried a few more builds. Let me list the results: (just a note, the last build and these first few builds had the CFLAGS environment variable set to “-mcpu=G5 -mtune=G5 -O3”) First new run: $ sudo gcc\_select 3.3 $ ./configure --prefix=/usr $ make $ make test-all results: …/miniruby ./runruby.rb --extout=.ext – -C “./test” runner.rb –runner=console Loaded suite .
