it is showing me 900 failed 1
and when i am typing…
autoconf
it is showing–

What should i do??..
What platform are you on? Linux or Mac OSX. Get the latest version of
autoconf.
Thanks, Shashank

And do i need to copy the latest autoconf version on Ruby Folder.and
repeat the process again?.

I’m not sure you can build autoconf within the ruby source directory if
that’s what you’re asking about. However, autoconf should include
instructions within its sources for how to build and install it.
Extract the autoconf sources somewhere and look into the root of the
extraction tree for either an INSTALL or a README file. One or both of
those should include the information you need to start the build
process.

I looked back through this thread, and I can’t figure out why you
decided to run autoconf yourself in the first place. The autoconf
package is used to build the configure script which you ran successfully
during your first build attempt.
I can appreciate your urgency, but maybe it’s time to reboot this thread
and provide more details about what you’re doing and why you’re doing
it:

You should not run autoconf at all. This is only needed if you are
building ruby from subversion, to create the ./configure script. If you
download a ruby source tarball then you already have this.
What you should do is start again: ./configure && make && make test, and
then post the exact error message you see, plus a few lines either
side for context. Use copy-paste.
Also, include all the important details you have missed off: what
operating system and version you are building under, and what exact
version of ruby you are trying to build.

Which Linux distribution are you using? Are you running RedHat, Ubuntu,
Fedora, Gentoo, or something else? What version of that Linux
distribution are you running? Knowing the answers to these questions
might allow someone to direct you to a pre-built ruby package which you
can simply install rather than try to build your own.

That depends. It’s possible that this build of ruby will work just fine
for what you need. I don’t know enough about this failing testcase to
be able to say for sure.
Since your build is otherwise complete, you could just try running ruby
within your build tree. You might also try running “make install”, but
take care with that since it could require you to delete all that
installed stuff later whenever you find a proper ruby package to
install. I strongly suggest that you try to find a pre-built ruby
package that meets your needs unless you need to customize ruby
internals for some reason.

Well, all tests passed except one, and maybe you can live with that.
The test which fails includes a reference to a mailing list posting:
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-dev/31371
(unfortunately in Japanese), so this looks like a regression test.
You need to post your exact O/S details (distro and version, preferably
including your gcc version)

The fact that you’re using Windows in this case does not matter because
you are not using it for anything more than a way to run the Putty
client to connect to the SSH server provided by your school. The
important part is that you are actually doing all your real work on a
Unix server of some kind. Please run the following while connected to
your school’s server and send the output it returns:
uname -a
`mkdir’: Permission denied - /usr/local/lib/ruby (Errno::EACCES)
The problem is that you don’t have permission to write anything into
/usr/local or its subdirectories. By default, the installation is going
to /usr/local, so you’ll need to find a way to install to a different
location to which you have write access. I think you can do that by
running the configure script with the --prefix option and an argument
pointing to someplace in your workspace:
cd /usr/local/courses/731/Tridib.Bandopadhyay/ruby
./configure --prefix
/usr/local/courses/731/Tridib.Bandopadhyay/ruby-install
make
make install
Assuming that works, your ruby program will be located in
/usr/local/courses/731/Tridib.Bandopadhyay/ruby-install/bin.

If all you want to do is run a small program, you can very easily
install a pre-built version of Ruby for Windows and try running that
program on your personal computer rather than the school’s server. It
will likely work unless the program requires something only provided on
that server. Download an installer for Windows here:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/72170/rubyinstaller-1.9.2-p0.exe
There are other versions available in case that one doesn’t work for
some reason:
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167
If you want to run the program on your school’s server anyway, you can
usually get away with simply using the ruby program located within the
location where you built it. Another option is to ask around and see if
anyone else already has a Ruby installation available on the server that
you can use.

CentOS is a derivative of RedHat, so that’s good information. Thanks!

Unless I’m mistaken, the ruby package for that version of CentOS is
version 1.8.1. Maybe that will suit your needs and maybe not. It won’t
hurt to ask them to install it and then give it a try at least.
Have you tried installing ruby onto your Windows computer? You might be
able to avoid all this mess if you do that.
