AIX and Ruby issues (still)

ruby-talk
1

I know this is a thorn to bring up every so often.
But I have yet to find either an AIX package for 5.x
or instructions on how to build 1.8.2 with sockets that actually work.
I did get one build once, but it failed with errors trying to use SOAP.

Has anyone any new info on the AIX port?

Thanks in Advance

I need an AIX build also.

Thanks

I have no news for an AIX package. But as for the latter how about two
patches at the following URL?
  http://www.ruby-talk.org/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/142201
note: It may not be compiled by gcc. I've always built by cc.

If you have already tried with these patches, post the error messages.
I've not tested real applications. My test script is extremely simple.
It may cause no problem even though that patches couldn't fix all
problems.

My test script:
   require 'net/http'
   Net::HTTP.start('www.example.com', 80) { |http|
      response = http.get('/index.html')
      puts response.body
   }

I tried those patches with xlc to no luck.
Wouldn't those patches also have made it into the latest stable cvs?

Yes. But It is not enough. Unfortunately AIX 5.2's getnameinfo fails
when struct sockaddr contains the all-zeros IPv6 address.

To work around this, configure with '--disable-ipv6'.

  gzip -dc ruby-1.8.2.tar.gz | tar xvf -
  cd ruby-1.8.2
  patch -p1 < path_to/patch1 # See: http://www.ruby-talk.org/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/142201
  ./configure --disable-ipv6

I built ruby 1.8.2 on AIX 5.2 with IPv4 socket support which was
configured with '--disable-ipv6' and '--prefix=/usr/local/ruby182'

  binary:
    http://www.jiubao.org/tmp/ruby182-aix52.tar.gz

  root user:
    cd /usr/local
    gzip -dc ruby182-aix52.tar.gz | tar xvf -

  users:
    PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/ruby182/bin
    export PATH

To support IPv6 on AIX 5.2, we need to add a getnameinfo wrapper API
as openssh does. (See: openbsd-compat/port-aix.c in openssh-4.1p1.tar.gz)

Well I am trying to get it to compile on 5.1.
I will try this process for compiling.
No, this version wont work on 5.1.

Hi all,

I was wondering if it was possible to connect to a POP3 server using SSL? I am using Ruby 1.8.2 (on OS X).

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Regards,
Diego

I guess I am not as lucky as other members.
I downloaded the binary for AIX 5.2 and have some problems.

ruby -v returns;
/usr/local/bin/ruby182/bin # ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-aix5.2.0.0]

Running the test program or my own, I get:

/usr/local/bin/ruby182/bin # ruby testrb
testrb:2:in `require': No such file to load -- test/unit (LoadError)
        from testrb:2

Any script with the "require" stmt fails.

Regards,

Victor

You can do it with OpenSSL (openssl.rb). It's part of the standard library.

Well, I got it to work on two AIX 5.3 Servers.
What I need now is a 182 build that works under 4.3.3 (Yes, I know 4.3.3 is
not supported by IBM anymore).

Thank you
