Installing RubyGems 0.0.4 on Solaris 2.6

anonymous · June 20, 2007, 2:50pm

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can assist here -

Have installed Ruby 1.8.6 on Solaris 2.6 (Sparc), and that seemed to
install ok. I then went to install RubyGems (as the good book
suggests) and found that I encounter an error partway through the
installation (executed ‘ruby setup.rb’ at the location of where I
extracted the RubyGem tarfile).

I’m not sure what I’m missing here as the three files (thread.so,

Thanks in advance.

You may get better help on the Rubygems list, but my response may be
of some help.

Did you run make test or make check? Might be more informative than
“seemed to install OK”

install ok. I then went to install RubyGems (as the good book

Yes, but not 0.0.4 as in the subject??

suggests) and found that I encounter an error partway through the

What do you have for the environment LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?

Also, I can’t see from that if you ARE using Sun’s ld (as I think)
so it might be useful to tell others who understand this better than I,
what versions of binutils you have if any, and what version of GCC for
that
matter.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick reply Hugh. I ran a make test (with success)
and then a make check (which it would appears fails).

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is not set - can you give me hint as to
what order of libray paths to set this to please? (eg. /usr/lib:/lib:/
usr/ccs/lib:/usr/local/lib - ie. system libraries, development
libraries and then /usr/local/lib???).

By the way, I have GCC v3.3.2, however I have libgcc 3.4.6 installed
alongside, and severl revisions of openssl (the latest being 0.9.8e).

You’re probably thinking newbie … but any pointers you can give will
be gratefully accepted.

Cheers
Brad

Make check runs all the Rubicon tests some of which are known to fail.
The details of that would be much better on a Ruby, rather than a rails
list.

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is not set - can you give me hint as to

usr/ccs/lib:/usr/local/lib - ie. system libraries, development

That would be about the right order if you are using sun’s ld,

I’m on Solaris9 and mine is like this:

/progs/SUNWspro/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/sparcv9:/usr/lib:/usr/share/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/opt/panorama/lib:/opt/sfw/lib

SUNWspro is the Forte compiler stuff.

By the way, I have GCC v3.3.2, however I have libgcc 3.4.6 installed
alongside, and severl revisions of openssl (the latest being 0.9.8e).

You may want the library path to include the SSL stuff, wherever that
ends up.

You’re probably thinking newbie … but any pointers you can give will

No, the levels of complexity “go all thw way down” – I’ve been working
on Sun systems from about 1988, and still have lots to learn

It may take some fiddling to get this sort of thing right, but probably
the best thing to do is rebuild ruby when you have because it has its
own libraries, uses configure and thus LD_LIBRARY_PATH to figure things
out, so changes will be significant…

test succeeded

ruby-1.8.6/.ext/sparc-solaris2.6/digest.so (LoadError)

… like here for example.

Best to use GNU’s make rather than Sun’s, BYTK.

OK. I’m not familiar with that source of GCC, but have no reason
to doubt its quality.
