I’m getting the following error. I’ve looked all over, and have found mentions of it, but nothing I’ve tried has worked. (I’ve reinstalled everything several times now…) # irb dyld: NSLinkModule() error dyld: Symbol not found: \_rb\_io\_stdio\_file Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.6.0/readline.bundle Expected in: flat namespace Trace/BPT trap Most recently I reinstalled everything using the instructions I found here: [http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/vframe.rb?key=readline+NSLinkModule()+error&cginame=namazu.rb&submit=Search&dbname=ruby-talk&max=50&whence=0](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/vframe.rb?key=readline+NSLinkModule%28%29+error&cginame=namazu.rb&submit=Search&dbname=ruby-talk&max=50&whence=0) (Reinstalling readline then running make distclean && configure --with-readline-dir=/usr/local && make && make test-all Which gave me an error about Tcl/Tk, so I ran it again like this: make distclean && configure --with-readline-dir=/usr/local –with-pthreads && make && make test-all Now I get the following error: making ruby gcc -g -O2 -pipe -fno-common -DRUBY\_EXPORT -L. main.o -lruby-static -lpthread -ldl -lobjc -o ruby ./miniruby ./runruby.rb --extout=.ext – -C “./test” runner.rb –runner=console /Users/administrator/src/ruby/ruby/lib/test/unit/autorunner.rb:199:in `Test::Unit::AutoRunner#run': undefined method `[]’ for :console:Symbol (NoMethodError) from /Users/administrator/src/ruby/ruby/lib/test/unit/autorunner.rb:13:in `Test::Unit::AutoRunner#run’ from runner.rb:9 make: \*\*\* [test-all] Error 1 Something is not configured correctly, but what? Everything was working fine two days ago. Now I’ve lost two days and I’m still nowhere. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I’m at my wit’s end. Thanks for any help. Chas.

Ah! Good eyes. Somewhere along the line I had accidentally downloaded 1.9 from CVS. I found a copy of 1.8.4, untarred it, and repeated the process. Tcl/Tk was still a problem, so I used --enable-pthreads. It compiled, but make test-all gave the following failures: Finished in 120.31191 seconds. 1. Failure: test\_delete(TestDBM) [./dbm/test\_dbm.rb:332]: exception expected but none was thrown. 2. Failure: test\_s\_open\_error(TestSDBM) [./sdbm/test\_sdbm.rb:123]: Errno::EACCES exception expected but none was thrown. 1313 tests, 14447 assertions, 2 failures, 0 errors make: \*\*\* [test-all] Error 1 Any ideas as to what is causing these? Thanks for the help. Chas. ---

Ignored the test failures and installed anyway. It seems to work now. Thanks, Chas.
