Problem installing 1.6.8 on OS X 10.2

ruby-talk
1

A few questions.

Are you using fink? If so, have you recently updated it? If so, have you tried to install Ruby 1.6.7 through fink?

No, I don't use fink and never have.

Are you using another package distribution system (like darwin ports or others)?

No. I just upgraded when prompted by the upgrade dialog.

What version of Mac OS X are you using?

10.2.6

What is the output when you run `uname -a'?

bash-2.05a$ unname -a
bash: unname: command not found

What do you see when you run `which gcc', `which ranlib', `which make'? All of these should be in `/usr/bin/'.

bash-2.05a$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
bash-2.05a$ which ranlib
/usr/bin/ranlib

Have you tried to install Ruby 1.8 preview 3?

No.

Are you the administrator of the computer?

Yes.

I don't remember whether you need to remove the old developer tools before installing the updated ones, but I recommend just following the instructions on the Apple site.

That's what I did.

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.

6. 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:

What is the output when you run `uname -a’?

bash-2.05a$ unname -a
bash: unname: command not found

That would be uname' and not unname’

Have you tried to install Ruby 1.8 preview 3?

No.

I would recommend also trying to install Ruby 1.8 preview 3.
