Can't install rubygems

lijie · 22 January 2007 03:16

The rubygems installer can't finish, and CPU is 100% used in several hours.

Did you have a RubyGems already installed before starting the upgrade?

Could you try removing /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems and re-running setup?

None of those lines match up with 0.9.1's package.rb.

Did you have a RubyGems already installed before starting the upgrade?

Could you try removing /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems and re-
running setup?

None of those lines match up with 0.9.1's package.rb.

Eric_Hodel1 · 23 January 2007 04:48

Can you check your sources gem's MD5?

$ md5 pkgs/sources/sources-0.0.1.gem
MD5 (pkgs/sources/sources-0.0.1.gem) = 5e0ab904499bb982a6ef62fe3af0a291

Is what I get.

If that matches, can you try this script:

data = <<-EOF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EOF

header = data.unpack('m*').first
data = header.unpack("A100" + # record name
                      "A8A8A8" + # mode, uid, gid
                      "A12A12" + # size, mtime
                      "A8A" + # checksum, typeflag
                      "A100" + # linkname
                      "A6A2" + # magic, version
                      "A32" + # uname
                      "A32" + # gname
                      "A8A8" + # devmajor, devminor
                      "A155") # prefix

p data

I got:

["data.tar.gz", "0000644", "0000000", "0000000", "00000000260", "00000000000", "013315", "0", "", "ustar", "00", "wheel", "wheel", "0000000", "0000000", ""]

difficult to send mails.

Thank you very much.

Is this a RubyGems problem or a Gentoo/Portage problem? There's an open bug in Gentoo Bugzilla for the rubygems-0.9.1 version bump -- it can be found at

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162463

You need to list the package in /etc/portage/package.unmask, I think. I got it to work on all of my Gentoo boxes.

Is this a RubyGems problem or a Gentoo/Portage problem? There's an open
bug in Gentoo Bugzilla for the rubygems-0.9.1 version bump -- it can be
found at

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162463

My Gentoo installed from stage3,

I have re-emerged ruby today, but rubygems emerge failed. I have
succeeded in installing on 3 computers on Gentoo about 6 days ago, and
used the same configurations (make.conf).

content of /etc/make.conf:

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=prescott -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j3"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"
USE="tk mozdevelop xforms hal nsplugin firefox ffmpeg dvd cdr dvdr svg
bzip2 fpx gs jpeg2k tiff wmf objc unicode gnome ipv6 -qt -kde -arts
-eds -cups glc nls cjk apache2 imap acpi truetype nptl freetype pam
pthreads python userlocales"
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.gentoo.gr.jp"
PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage
LINGUAS="zh_CN zh_TW zh en"

You need to list the package in /etc/portage/package.unmask, I think. I
got it to work on all of my Gentoo boxes.

This file dose not exist, I install rubygems-0.8.11 like this:
# emerge rubygems -Dav

and install rubygems-0.9.1 like this:
# emerge /usr/portage/dev-ruby/rubygems/rubygems-0.9.1.ebuild

Thanks.

This may be a source of your problems. Ruby is not guaranteed to work with -fomit-frame-pointer:

and install rubygems-0.9.1 like this:
# emerge /usr/portage/dev-ruby/rubygems/rubygems-0.9.1.ebuild

Try rebuilding ruby with the default build flags first.

-O3 could also be a problem. I forget whether the Gentoo default includes "-fomit-frame-pointer" or not, but the default is *definitely* -O2 and not -O3.

I have removed -formit-frame-pointer and changed -O3 to -O2, then
re-emerge ruby and rubygems, but nothing changes.

I have tried all ways that I can think of, reinstall system, set
system date to 2006-12-25, ... Does the installer use network? my
network is very bad in these days. perhaps network has caused it.

I've forgotten -- what was the symptom again?

Maybe you should post a bug on Gentoo's Bugzilla (http://bugs.gentoo.org). rubygems "stable" is still 0.9.0-r2, so you might have hit a bug in their ebuild. They'll at least help you diagnose this. If you want, copy me off-list when you file the bug.

Maybe. These errors I've never seen:

localhost distfiles # gem install activesupport
Attempting local installation of 'activesupport'
ERROR: Error installing gem activesupport[.gem]: string contains null byte

localhost distfiles # gem install RedCloth-3.0.4.gem
Attempting local installation of 'RedCloth-3.0.4.gem'
ERROR: Error installing gem RedCloth-3.0.4.gem[.gem]: string contains null byte

and should only come from a very confused ruby, or buggy C extensions. The C extensions built in to ruby shouldn't have bugs this bad.

gems / ruby is broken on gentoo!
pity that. gentoo people on their forums say its not a portage error
but a strange error in combination glibc-2.3 autoconf-2.61 and ruby.
on the other hand gentoo users have no problem in installing ruby +
gems by hand.

look here (and no, it's not solved):

I have downgraded autoconf to 2.60, and re-merge ruby and rubygems, it
works!

Thanks all.
