Hello All,
Please note that I am following up this issue for my friend who had
posted a similar query couple of days ago. I apologize for posting the
same query but I am kind of stuck with it and there is no place else to
seek help. I would be really greatful if somebody could give me some
pointers to resolve this issue.
I have been trying to compile Ruby 1.9 for past couple of days. I am
relatively new to Ruby and I needed Ruby 1.9 as part of another task
that I am currently involved in. Here are the steps that I followed:
- Got the Ruby 1.9 Source code from
http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk/. - Used autoconf (2.58) to generate configure.
- Ran “make”. (make BASERUBY=/usr/bin/ruby)
At this point I encountered the following snippet which indicated error:
/usr/bin/ruby ./tool/insns2vm.rb --srcdir=“.”
