Irb aborts in 1.7.3 on Solaris

ruby-talk
1

Hi:

I did not get an answer to this before, so I’ll post again.

I just did a cvs get and compiled 1.7.3 on Solaris:

uname -a
SunOS juno 5.8 Generic_108528-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

When running irb, I get the following error:

irb
/home/jfn/myruby173/lib/ruby/1.7/sparc-solaris2.8/nkf.so: [BUG]
Segmentation fault
ruby 1.7.3 (2002-12-04) [sparc-solaris2.8]
Abort

Is this a known problem?

You have a strange configuration

Sorry, not much of an extension debugger.
What commands do I need to get a backtrace?

irb shouldn't use nkf.

Can't you get backtrace?

How so?

Try

  cd /home/jfn/myruby173/bin
  gdb ruby
  (gdb) r irb

and use the command `bt' when it crash

Ok, I just built ruby-1.6.7 and ruby-1.7.3 on the same
machine and using the same config options (only set --prefix).
The 1.6.7 version works, but 1.7.3 still crashes when
running irb.
