Well, not much to say here.

% ./configure --disable-pthreads  
% make  
…  
…  
making ruby  
gcc -g -O2 -pipe -fno-common -L. main.o -lruby-static -lpthread  
-ldl -lobjc -o ruby  
/usr/bin/ld: archive: ./libruby-static.a has no table of contents,  
add one with ranlib(1) (can’t load from it)  
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status  
make[1]: \*\*\* [ruby] Error 1  
make: \*\*\* [all] Error 2  
% wtf  
-bash: wtf: command not found

So… Has anyone else run into this problem? If so, what did you do  
to fix it?

Thanks,  
Ari

> I decided to start playing around with the latest Ruby, 1.9.0, which was released on Christmas Day.  I am on a MacBook Pro running OSX Tiger 10.4.11. I previously blogged about what to do with…

I hope it helps.
