I am a newbie to Solaris and Ruby. I have downloaded the source for Ruby 1.8.4, I added CC to the environment using “CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc” & “export CC”. I have run ./configure successfully. I then set my variables for make (as initially that was not doing anything) using “PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin” and “export PATH”. After doing this I tried to use the make command, and received the following errors: 1. make: Warning: Illegal dependency list for target `.DEFAULT’ and far more worrying: 2.internal error: error\_message(58) \*\*\* Error code 100 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `libruby-static.a’ I did find a file called “ruby” under usr/local/bin but it does not do anything (most likely because of the fatal error) can anyone help me? ---

Strange. What version of gcc are you using? If all else fails, there’s a Solaris package for Ruby on [blastwave.org](http://blastwave.org), though it’s built with Forte I think. Regards, Dan ---

Wait a minute - are you building against the latest in CVS? Because I’m hitting the same issue because “isinf” isn’t linked in properly. However, if you’re building against 1.8.4 stable (release 12-24-2005), you shouldn’t hit this. Is this what you’re seeing? gcc -Wall main.o libruby-static.a -ldl -lcrypt -lm -o miniruby -g -O2 -DRUBY\_EXPORT Undefined first referenced symbol in file isinf libruby-static.a(marshal.o) ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to miniruby collect2: ld returned 1 exit status \*\*\* Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `miniruby’ Regards, Dan ---

It isn’t included with the usual header files under /usr/include. So, you can link against -lsunmath and just ignore the implicit declaration warning, or you can define isinf as “!finite” from ieeefp.h on Sun. Regards, Dan ---

DONE!!! Moved it from the users/ folder to /usr/local where there was more room. Just ended up with the warnings no fatal errors! YEAH! ---

Sorry - you have lost me! I have downloaded the stable Nov 2005 version of Ruby 1.8.4 ([http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group\_id=426&release\_id=3332](http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=426&release_id=3332)) I have tried changing my PATH to use /usr/local/bin as that had another copy of make (05/10/2002) in it (rather than the ccs make file - 13/09/1999!!) ## I get the same error with both versions: ``` egex.o ruby.o signal.o sprintf.o st.o string.o struct.o ``` time.o util.o variable.o version.o flock.o isinf.o dmyext.o ``` internal error: error_message(58) *** Error code 100 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `libruby-static.a' ``` * * * ## Typing in: make LTFLAGS=’ ’ (recommended from one of the sites) ``` make: Warning: Illegal dependency list for target `.DEFAULT'... .... ..eric.o object.o pack.o parse.o process.o prec.o random.o ``` range.o re.o regex.o ruby.o signal.o sprintf.o st.o string.o struct.o time.o util.o variable.o version.o flock.o isinf.o dmyext.o /usr/local/bin/gcc -g -O2 -DRUBY\_EXPORT -I. -I. -c main.c /usr/local/bin/gcc main.o libruby-static.a -ldl -lcrypt -lm -o miniruby -g -O 2 -DRUBY\_EXPORT ld: fatal: file miniruby: creation interrupted: No space left on device collect2: ld returned 1 exit status \*\*\* Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `miniruby’ * * * So I think I have found the problem “ld: fatal: file miniruby: creation interrupted: No space left on device” - now it is just how to fix it!
