Compiling ruby on red hat linux

Philip_J_Mikal · 8 September 2005 19:25

Hi,

I'm having no luck compiling Ruby - getting the
following error:

make[1]: Entering directory
`/usr/local/src/ruby/ext/iconv'
gcc -fPIC -g -O2 -I. -I../.. -I../../.
-I../.././ext/iconv -DICONV_INPTR_CAST="(char **)" -c
iconv.c
gcc323: **): No such file or directory
iconv.c: In function `iconv_try':

make[1]: *** [iconv.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/local/src/ruby/ext/iconv'
make: *** [all] Error 1

Any ideas?

Did you run the configure script?

Thanks for the suggestion, but same results as before:

Hi Nobu,

It looks like my gcc is bombing out on:

-DICONV_INPTR_CAST="(char **)"

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Philip

What's this gcc323? Why does it differ from the
command called
by make?

I am interested in writing a debugger that single-steps, highlights lines, displays variables, etc.

Any Recommendations for a GUI to work in? Should be simple, I hope. Rails?

What is `your gcc'? Maybe a wrapper script?
Try:

type -a gcc
file `type -p gcc`

you could contribute to improving it instead of starting from scratch. It
uses the FXRuby/FOX GUI library.

There is already one in FreeRIDE (http://freeride.rubyforge.org/\), perhaps

Philip_J_Mikal · 9 September 2005 03:57

Hi Nobu,

Yes, it looks like a wrapper script.

[root@server2 src]# type -a gcc
gcc is /usr/bin/gcc
[root@server2 src]# file `type -p gcc`
/usr/bin/gcc: Bourne shell script text executable

Here is the script:

#!/bin/sh

if id | grep -q gcc296; then
        #Use the compat gcc
        exec /usr/bin/gcc296 $@
elif [ -n "$GCC296" ]; then
        # Use the compat gcc
        exec /usr/bin/gcc296 $@
else
        # Use the standard gcc
        exec /usr/bin/gcc323 $@
fi

I symlinked gcc to gcc323 and now it works!

I've run into this problem on a few boxes and they are
all Red Hat 9. I'm suprised this problem hasn't shown
up before.

Maybe there is a better way to set up the -D arg to
iconv to support legacy distros with this shell
wrapper?

Thanks for your help!

-Philip

They must be "$@" instead of mere $@.

What package contains the script? What does following command
show?

rpm -qif /usr/bin/gcc

Thanks Curt - My mission is a bit more complicated han a Ruby debugger though -
I am looking at a debugger for an interpreter written in Ruby for another language.
But the FreeRIDE debugger could be modified, since it will debug Ruby code.
The trick is getting it to stop only on certain statements and display variables in the original language. hmmmm

Do you use FreeRIDE?
curious,

I'm one of the original authors of FreeRIDE. If you want to explore the
option of reusing the FreeRIDE debugger, then the best thing would be to
subscribe to the FreeRIDE mailing list and post questions there for Laurent
Julliard -- the guy who wrote the FreeRIDE debugger.
