Hello.
I just installed Ruby 1.8.6 from source and then stumbled upon the
following problem. Any ideas what might be causing this incorrect
behaviour?
jarmo@jarmo-laptop:~$ uname -a
Linux jarmo-laptop 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:27:30
UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

jarmo@jarmo-laptop:~$ ruby -v

jarmo@jarmo-laptop:~$ ruby -e "require 'date'; puts Date.today"

Time.now works correctly
jarmo@jarmo-laptop:~/Downloads/ruby-1.8.6-p287$ ruby -e "require 'date';
puts Date.today; puts Time.now"

Also, found one very similar problem, but no solutions...
I even tried 1.8.6 older patchlevels... I need 1.8.6 and not 1.8.7 nor
1.9.1.

I'm not able to reproduce this. However, what version of GCC did you
use to build it?

i executed make test and it seems that some of the tests are also
failing:

Is there any special switches or commands i should use while compiling?

If you are compiling from source anyway I'd probably switch to 1.8.7. You could also check [1] to see whether it's a known bug already.

As far as I checked, ruby_strtod() in util.c is broken by gcc 4.4's
optimization.
1. disable optimization.
./configure
make
vi Makefile # replace -O2 to -O0.
touch util.c # update the timestamp to recompile util.c.
make
sudo make install
2. use gcc-4.3.
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.3
./configure CC=gcc-4.3
make
sudo make install
3. configure with -fno-strict-aliasing and --enable-pthread.
(I don't know why it dismisses the problem...)
./configure CFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing' --enable-pthread
make
sudo make install

By the way, doing every same move with 1.8.7 as i did with 1.8.6 works
indeed:
jarmo@jarmo-laptop:~/Downloads/ruby-1.8.7-p249$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [i686-linux]
jarmo@jarmo-laptop:~/Downloads/ruby-1.8.7-p249$ ruby -e "require 'date';
puts Date.today"
2010-05-30
But my problem was that i really-really needed 1.8.6, thus trying to
make it work.
But thanks for the tip.

Thank you for this (insight|help)ful reply!
I tried your first suggestion which worked as you said! Then i decided
to downgrade gcc completely and tried your second suggestion which also
worked!
Also make test succeeded (although i tried with latest patchlevel, so
i'm not sure if it was even related with my problem).
But why does 1.8.7 work with gcc 4.4? Is util.c there somehow changed?
So in the end it is a incompatibility problem with Ruby 1.8.6 and gcc
4.4 (which comes by default with latest Ubuntu)?
Anyway, thank You again!
