Solaris 9 SPARC packages for RubyGems?

ruby-talk

Anyone out there ever build a Solaris 9 SPARC package for RubyGems?
I'd be grateful if you'd be willing to share it or a spec file.

BTW, it looks to me like the http://sunfreeware.com package for Ruby
1.8.4 is incompatible with their openssl package. The openssl package
installs into /usr/local/ssl but Ruby is looking for it in a standard
location so:

$ ruby -e "require 'md5'"
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.9/digest/md5.so: ld.so.1: ruby:
fatal: libcrypto.so.0.9.8: open failed: No such file or directory -
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.9/digest/md5.so (LoadError)
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/md5.rb:6
        from -e:1

$ ldd /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.9/digest/md5.so
        libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => (file not found)
        libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libcrypt_i.so.1 => /usr/lib/libcrypt_i.so.1
        libm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libm.so.1
        libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libgen.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgen.so.1
        /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240/lib/libc_psr.so.1

Has anyone modified the packages or built their own to overcome this?
As a Linux user unfamiliar with Solaris and its package manager, I
find that I am knocking my head against the wall quite a bit trying to
get Ruby into production on Solaris... Too many machines to build from
source everywhere...

Thanks,

Is it possible you installed openssl *after* you built Ruby? I haven't had a problem with it myself.

Also, I prefer blastwave.org to sunfreeware since pkg-get is such a nice little command line app. Keep in mind, though, that they build their packages with Sun's compiler (which is now free, I think).

Blastwave does have a Ruby package, but I think it's outdated.

Daniel,

Thanks a million! http://blastwave.org has packages for ruby 1.8.4 and
for rubygems 0.8.11
in their stable tree. Your post saved me hours and hours of work. Thanks!

Cool. They must have added those recently. I haven't checked in a while. :slight_smile:
