Has anyone successfully installed FXRuby on a Mandrake 9.0? I’ve tried to
install the latest rpms and .tar files from sourceforge unsuccessfully.
Thank you.
Hi Thomas,
I successfully installed FXRuby on Mandrake 9.0 from tar balls just before the
New Year. What type of problem are you encoutering? If you let us know where
you are failing maybe we can help.
Cheers,

The most recent RPMs on SourceForge were built for (I think) Red Hat
Linux 7.2 and wouldn’t be compatible with Mandrake Linux 9.0, so you’d
need to build from the source code. There are pretty detailed
instructions on how to build FXRuby from the source code here:
http://www.fxruby.org/doc/build.html
If you have some specific questions about a specific problem please
provide more information.

At the point of configuring of the FXRuby install I get the following error:
–with-fxscintilla-include=/usr/local/include/fxscintilla–with-fxscintilla-lib=/usr/local/lib
config: unknown option
–with-fxscintilla-include=/usr/local/include/fxscintilla–with-fxscintilla-lib=/usr/local/lib
try ‘ruby install.rb --help’ for usage
Thanks again.

Your post makes it look like you strung the “–with-fxscintilla-include”
and “–with-fxscintilla-lib” options together into one long string. Try
typing the following (where a "" indicates a continuation to the next
line):
ruby install.rb config -- \
--with-fxscintilla-include=/usr/local/include/fxscintilla \
--with-fxscintilla-lib=/usr/local/lib
Many people will leave off the “–” right after the “config” option (and
before the “–with-fxscintilla-include” option). Don’t be one of those
people.
