compiling ruby on red hat linux

[Philip J. Mikal]

Hi,

I'm having no luck compiling Ruby - getting the
following error:

make[1]: Entering directory
`/usr/local/src/ruby/ext/iconv'
gcc -fPIC -g -O2 -I. -I../.. -I../../.
-I../.././ext/iconv -DICONV_INPTR_CAST=3D"(char **)" -c
iconv.c
gcc323: **): No such file or directory

make[1]: *** [iconv.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/local/src/ruby/ext/iconv'
make: *** [all] Error 1

Any ideas?

Did you run the configure script?

 

[Philip J. Mikal]

Yes!

Did you run the configure script?

I am interested in writing a debugger that single-steps, highlights lines,
displays variables, etc.

Any Recommendations for a GUI to work in? Should be simple, I hope. Rails?

What's this gcc323? Why does it differ from the command called
by make?

 

[Philip J. Mikal]

Hi Nobu,

It looks like my gcc is bombing out on:

-DICONV_INPTR_CAST=3D"(char **)"

Any ideas?

Thanks,

What is `your gcc'? Maybe a wrapper script?
Try:

type -a gcc
file `type -p gcc`

 

[Philip J. Mikal]

Hi Nobu,

Yes, it looks like a wrapper script.

[root@server2 src]# type -a gcc
gcc is /usr/bin/gcc
[root@server2 src]# file `type -p gcc`
/usr/bin/gcc: Bourne shell script text executable

Here is the script:

#!/bin/sh

if id | grep -q gcc296; then
#Use the compat gcc
exec /usr/bin/gcc296 $@
elif [ -n "$GCC296" ]; then
# Use the compat gcc
exec /usr/bin/gcc296 $@
else
# Use the standard gcc
exec /usr/bin/gcc323 $@
fi

I symlinked gcc to gcc323 and now it works!=20

I've run into this problem on a few boxes and they are
all Red Hat 9. I'm suprised this problem hasn't shown
up before.

Maybe there is a better way to set up the -D arg to
iconv to support legacy distros with this shell
wrapper?=20

Thanks for your help!

They must be "$@" instead of mere $@.

What package contains the script? What does following command
show?

rpm -qif /usr/bin/gcc

Thanks Curt - My mission is a bit more complicated han a Ruby debugger
though -
I am looking at a debugger for an interpreter written in Ruby for another
language.
But the FreeRIDE debugger could be modified, since it will debug Ruby code.
The trick is getting it to stop only on certain statements and display
variables in the original language. hmmmm

Do you use FreeRIDE?
curious,
John B
