I'm running OpenSUSE 10.0 on a AMD64. I tried using the Suse ruby rpm ( (ruby-1.8.2-11) package but qtruby 1.0.9 will not install. Removing the ruby-1.8.2-11 installation and "configure/make/make install" ruby-1.8.3 instead. Verify install OK. Install gem OK. Now trying the qtruby-1.0.9 package I do the following steps;   cd /home/gunnar/gunnar/Downloads/Ruby/qtruby-1.0.9   make -f Makefile.cvs   ./configure --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64         (runs to the end and says its ok to run make)   make         (fails towards the end (I think) and I include the last couple of lines of output         make[3]: Entering directory `/home/gunnar/gunnar/Downloads/Ruby/qtruby-1.0.9/qtruby/bin' if g++ -DHAVE\_CONFIG\_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I/usr/lib/qt3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/x86\_64-linux -DQT\_THREAD\_SUPPORT -D\_REENTRANT -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D\_XOPEN\_SOURCE=500 -D\_BSD\_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -O2 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -MT qtrubyinit.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/qtrubyinit.Tpo" -c -o qtrubyinit.o qtrubyinit.cpp; \ then mv -f ".deps/qtrubyinit.Tpo" ".deps/qtrubyinit.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/qtrubyinit.Tpo"; exit 1; fi /bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --tag=CXX --mode=link g++ -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D\_XOPEN\_SOURCE=500 -D\_BSD\_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -O2 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -o qtrubyinit -module -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -L/usr/lib/qt3/lib64 -version-info 0:0:0 -L../../smoke/qt/ -L/usr/local/lib qtrubyinit.o -lqt-mt -lz -lpng -lz -lm -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lpthread -Wl,-R -Wl,/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L. ../../smoke/qt/libsmokeqt.la ../../qtruby/rubylib/qtruby/libqtrubyinternal.la libtool: link: warning: `-version-info' is ignored for programs qtrubyinit.o: In function `main': qtrubyinit.cpp:(.text+0x15): undefined reference to `ruby\_init' qtrubyinit.cpp:(.text+0x21): undefined reference to `ruby\_script' qtrubyinit.cpp:(.text+0x2c): undefined reference to `ruby\_options' qtrubyinit.cpp:(.text+0x31): undefined reference to `ruby\_run' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: \*\*\* [qtrubyinit] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/gunnar/gunnar/Downloads/Ruby/qtruby-1.0.9/qtruby/bin' make[2]: \*\*\* [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/gunnar/gunnar/Downloads/Ruby/qtruby-1.0.9/qtruby' make[1]: \*\*\* [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gunnar/gunnar/Downloads/Ruby/qtruby-1.0.9' make: \*\*\* [all] Error 2 To me it looks like I'm missing a header-file (qtrubyinit.h).

Out of curiosity, what did you do to solve this issue? ---

Well William After cleaning the machine of all ruby-installations, thus starting fresh I think the magic thing was in installing ruby. If you install ruby with         ./configure --enable-shared         make         make install then cd to the qtruby-directory         make -f Makefile.cvs         ./configure --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib/qt3/lib64         make         make install it all completes and work, too! After that, I had to take the walk of shame. Turns out that in Suse its all done already!! All that is needed is to install the ruby-rpm package together with the kdebindings3-ruby rpm and its all done. Conclusion, at least I had two days on Google looking for answers and I even think I learned something. Gunnar
