Hi,

This morning I had an error during the installation of Ruby 1.9  
(yesterday it was working fine):  
~/src/ruby% sudo make install  
./miniruby ./instruby.rb --dest-dir="" --extout=".ext" --make=“make”  
–mflags="" --make-flags="" --installed-list .installed.list  
–mantype=“doc”  
installing binary commands  
installing command scripts  
installing library scripts  
installing headers  
/Users/vincent/src/ruby/lib/fileutils.rb:1256:in `initialize': No such file or directory - /usr/local/include/ruby-1.9/ruby/defines.h (Errno::ENOENT) from /Users/vincent/src/ruby/lib/fileutils.rb:1256:in`open’  
from /Users/vincent/src/ruby/lib/fileutils.rb:1256:in `block in copy_file' from /Users/vincent/src/ruby/lib/fileutils.rb:1255:in`open’

from /Users/vincent/src/ruby/lib/fileutils.rb:1405:in  
`fu_each_src_dest0' ... 9 levels... from ./instruby.rb:356:in`each’  
from ./instruby.rb:356:in `block in <main>' from ./instruby.rb:355:in`each’  
from ./instruby.rb:355:in `’  
make: \*\*\* [do-install-nodoc] Error 1

The file can’t be created because the destination directory  
(/usr/local/include/ruby-1.9/ruby) does not exist (it has not been  
created).

Cheers,  
Vincent I.
