Merry Christmas,

We finally announce the release of final stable 1.8.1 at

ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/ruby-1.8.1.tar.gz

This is mainly a bug fix release. You can wait for mirrors, if you  
are not in hurry. Mirroring volunteers are welcome. In any cases,  
the Md5 check sum is

5d52c7d0e6a6eb6e3bc68d77e794898e ruby-1.8.1.tar.gz

Happy Hacking Holidays.

Thank you matz.

To celebrate this release and a decennial language, I would release a  
translation of a historic record; what is the root of the name “Ruby.”  
If it would be your fun, I should be very happy.

Merry Christmas,

Just downloaded and built it on my Redhat 9 system. Works like a charm.

Merry Christmas from a not so white Christmas here in Sydney … it’s

Checked in to PLD’s builders. Looks great! (And I’m happy to see rdoc  
and xsd libraries!)

ps: is there a review of the new features in 1.8.1 somewhere on the

I compiled OK under Solaris 2.8 just using ./configure with no  
–enable-pthread option & everything was ok (got through tests fine with just 1  
error in xml-soap part of test)

but If I do ./configure --enable-pthread I get same error as you.

Well, can you run it under gdb and give the backtrace.

I can't reproduce the problem

I should have…  
(this is the single .so ruby is not loading itself 🙂

Problem is indeed in the ldconfig/LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH area.  
Things are much better now 🙂
