ParseTree problem on Ubuntu 7.4, GCC 4.1

Ruby
1

Hi List,

I am having trouble using ParseTree 1.7 on my new Ubuntu system.

When I require ‘parse_tree’, I get the following error:
http://pastie.caboo.se/55273

It seems like it can not find variuos development files. I am using GCC
4.1. Should I install the corresponding source? I’m downloading it at
the moment.

If not, any other suggestions?

I’m using:
Ruby 1.8.5
Rubygems 0.9

This is most frustrating. All help appreciated.

Make sure ‘build-essential’ and ‘ruby1.8dev’ ubuntu packages are
installed.

For me it seems to work:

Well, oddly enough… though I am using x86_64 I was running into a lot
of compilation errors.
I removed binutils, installed build-essential and binutils and then
everything seemed to work.

this was a problem in a few beta’s but may have missed a fix before
release. I believe there is already a bug noted.
