I finally got Ruby-1.8.5 running on the compute nodes of our Bluegene/L  
rack. More details here. Enjoy.

Do the rubicon tests pass?

Oh, and could you give me an account on the machine with SSH access so  
I can “help out” with the development 😉

Blessings,

Have you made any modify for Bluegene/L? If you have, we can merge it  
to the repository.

I belive rubicon requires more cross-compiling of which I don’t care to  
tackle right now.

If you wanted to give me some ruby scripts for testing I would be happy  
to run them for you.

I had to hack the configure file to overcome cross-compile issues and  
solve some Bluegene specific linker problems. Other than that nothing  
was touched. I’m in the middle of writing a script for BGL compiles and  
I’ll post it ASAP.

Thanks for making sure Ruby still runs green threads! The Bluegene  
compute node kernel only allows one process.

I just ran the ruby-1.8.5/samples/test.rb script. Output after running  
it for a maximum of 5 minutes is at:  
[http://www.ece.iastate.edu/~crb002/test.output](http://www.ece.iastate.edu/~crb002/test.output)

It seem to pass many of the tests.
