Mark,

I followed the whole list, I think, upgrading the developer tools,  
removing  
the files, downloading a fresh copy of ruby, and I seem to be getting  
the  
same result. Am I correct that in the statement CFLAGS=‘-g -o2  
-fno-common’  
./configure, that the -o2 is l.c. o (not zero)? Here are the results. I  
am  
wondering if I should also toss the old /Developer prior to updating  
with  
the December 2002 version.

I’ve never seen that before. I think you have to start over from the  
beginning on this one.

I would recommend the following (not all of these are likely to be  
necessary, but they help control the environment):

1. make sure you have the most recent Apple Developer Tools (I think  
the last update was December 2002).

2. delete /usr/local/lib/ruby and usr/local/bin/ruby.

3. delete the extracted ruby folder.

4. use the bash shell (type bash at your terminal prompt).

5. run the following on the ruby tarball:

gtar -zxf ruby-1.6.8.tar.gz

Don’t use stuff-it.

1. next do the following:

cd ruby-1.6.8/  
CFLAGS=‘-g -O2 -fno-common’ ./configure  
make  
make test  
sudo make install  
sudo ranlib /usr/local/lib/libruby-static.a

Some of the above advice comes from this page:
