Make error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol

Ruby
#1

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to install
1.9.3 on a RHEL Linux system that is pretty old. After running
./configure, I run ./make and get the error below.:
…
linking shared-object zlib.so
installing default zlib libraries
make[2]: Leaving directory /opt/local/src/ruby-1.9.3-p0/ext/zlib' make[2]: Entering directory/opt/local/src/ruby-1.9.3-p0’

make: *** [rdoc] Error 127

Here is the top of the ./make output:

make

Thanks for your help. Please let me know how to get Ruby 1.9.3 up and
running.

A better idea would be to use RVM.

Installing RVM as a single-user is easy (multi-user instructions can be
found on their site):

  1. Download curl and git-core from your package manager.

  2. Run the following command (super user permission not needed):
    $ bash -s stable < <(curl -ss
    https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)

  3. Load RVM into your bash file:
    $ echo ‘[[ -s “$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm” ]]’
    ‘&& . “$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm”’ >> ~/.bashrc

  4. Reload your bash file by restarting the terminal or by running
    source ~/.bashrc.

  5. Test for rvm with type rvm | head -1. It should output rvm is a function.

Installing Ruby 1.9.3:

  1. Make sure all dependencies are met by running rvm requirements.

  2. Install Ruby 1.9.3 with rvm install ruby-1.9.3-head.

  3. Use Ruby 1.9.3 by running rvm use ruby-1.9.3-head. You can also
    set Ruby 1.9.3 to the default ruby installation by running rvm use ruby-1.9.3-head --default.

#3

./ruby: symbol lookup error:

/opt/local/src/ruby-1.9.3-p0/.ext/i686-linux/enc/encdb.so: undefined
symbol: rb_encdb_declare

This is declared in:

encoding.c:void rb_encdb_declare(const char *name);
encoding.c:rb_encdb_declare(const char *name)

And in:

enc/encdb.c:void rb_encdb_declare(const char *name);
enc/encdb.c:#define ENC_DEFINE(name) rb_encdb_declare(name)

Other than that I have no idea why you get this error.

It would be helpful to provide accurate versions of make, gcc, glibc and
binutils as well.

Something like:

GCC Version: GCC version 4.6.1
Glibc Version: ldd (Debian EGLIBC 2.13-20) 2.13
CFLAGS in use: -fomit-frame-pointer -frerun-loop-opt -pipe -fPIC
-pthread
Binutils Version: GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.22
