Following the instructions on Hivelogic, everything works flawlessly on my Powerbook until I do the 'sudo gem install fcgi. I’m getting no-definition errors all over the place. Any thoughts how to resolve this? Example of errors: No definition for fcgi\_s\_accept No definition for fcgi\_s\_each No definition for fcgi\_s\_each ## No definition for fcgi\_s\_iscgi View this message in context: [http://www.nabble.com/-OT-building-fastcgi-t1327794.html#a3544682](http://www.nabble.com/-OT-building-fastcgi-t1327794.html#a3544682) Sent from the RubyOnRails Users forum at [Nabble.com](http://Nabble.com). ---

Try this: sudo gcc\_select 3.3 whether it works or not… sudo gcc\_select 4.0 afterward to put it back into “stock” form. – – Tom M. ---

gcc\_select didn’t solve the problem. Any other places to look? ## Thanks View this message in context: [http://www.nabble.com/-OT-building-fastcgi-t1327794.html#a3544977](http://www.nabble.com/-OT-building-fastcgi-t1327794.html#a3544977) Sent from the RubyOnRails Users forum at [Nabble.com](http://Nabble.com). ---

Sorry to respond to my own post, but it looks like the gem may have installed correctly. Still, fastcgi is upchucking… The error I get is: ## =\> Booting lighttpd (use ‘script/server webrick’ to force WEBrick) =\> Rails application started on [http://0.0.0.0:3005](http://0.0.0.0:3005) =\> Call with -d to detach (requires absolute paths in config/lighttpd.conf) =\> Ctrl-C to shutdown server (see config/lighttpd.conf for options) 2006-03-23 16:41:45: (mod\_fastcgi.c.989) execve failed for: public/dispatch.fcgi No such file or directory 2006-03-23 16:41:45: (mod\_fastcgi.c.1015) the fastcgi-backend public/dispatch.fc gi failed to start: 2006-03-23 16:41:45: (mod\_fastcgi.c.1019) child exited with status 2 public/disp atch.fcgi 2006-03-23 16:41:45: (mod\_fastcgi.c.1022) if you try do run PHP as FastCGI backe nd make sure you use the FastCGI enabled version.

Did you install fcgi itself, before the gem? – – Tom M.
