Hey all,

I’m trying to build Rubinius on my Mac PPC. Configure works fine, but  
when I got to do ‘make’, i get this error:

/usr/bin/libtool: internal link edit command failed  
make[4]: \*\*\* [libonig.la] Error 1  
make[3]: \*\*\* [all-recursive] Error 1  
make[2]: \*\*\* [all] Error 2  
make[1]: \*\*\* [external\_libs/onig/.libs/libonig.a] Error 2  
make: \*\*\* [all] Error 2

Before I break down and cry, has anyone else installed Rubinius on  
Mac PPC? What tricks did you use?

Thanks,  
~ Ari  
English is like a pseudo-random number generator - there are a  
bajillion rules to it, but nobody cares.

We had someone in IRC with this same problem a minute ago. It appears  
that the oniguruma configuration step is breaking on Mac PPC.  
Hopefully we can get it fixed tonight.  
If you want to come to #rubinius on [irc.freenode.net](http://irc.freenode.net), we would welcome  
another PPC guinea pig.

Evan uses a PowerBook, so we know it works on PPC. There’s some  
system-specific weirdness for some people that we would like to nail  
down.

Hehe. I happen to be seydar 🙂

Do with me as you will (as long as it doesn’t require big  
installations - HD Space is running very low)!

Is there a Rubinius IRB?

Yeah. Just run the rubinius binary with no other arguments, and it will  
start.  
You can also run it manually; it’s called sirb.rb  
(s for simple, or shotgun, depending on your preference and mood)
