make test-all with 1.8.4 on os x gives me 1 failure and 79 errors

[didier.prophete]

Ok, so I just got the latest ruby 1.8.4, compiled, ran the tests and I
ended up with 1 failure and 79 errors (running 'make test-all') Am I
the only one experiencing this ? (I am on os x 10.4.3, using gcc 4.0.0)

Basically all the tests fail like this one (note the 'execution
expired')

1) Error:
test_01(TestDRbAry):
RuntimeError: execution expired
/Users/boyfriend/tar/ruby-1.8.4/lib/timeout.rb:54:in
`invoke_service'
/Users/boyfriend/tar/ruby-1.8.4/lib/drb/extservm.rb:39:in `service'

any help would be really appreciated.

Ok, so after closer analysis, all these errors are related to 'drb'
(distributed ruby). If I remove the drb test dir, all the tests pass. I
am not using drb, so I guess that's not too bad... but still... I find
it weird that all the drb tests fails like that (they all timeout...
and the code has a timeout of 10 seconds which seems more than enough
for anything...)

Out of curiosity: am I the only one expericencing this ?

thanks,

I just successfully installed ruby-1.8.4 on my Mac.

I'm using OS X 10.4.3 and the latest Xcode tools.

When I ran the tests the first time, it complained about not being
able to locate /usr/local/bin/ruby. That because it's never been
installed there before. The same tests your failed on, mine also
failed on.

I installed it to /usr/local/bin, etc and then did another test of
the build which ran with no errors.

Looks like some of the tests expect a ruby to already exist in /usr/
local in order to run.

Hope that helps.

Mike

Didier,

I got similar errors with a test-all on OS X 10.3.9, gcc 3.3. No idea
how to fix.

I was able to get Ruby 1.8.4 to successfully compile on OS X 10.4.3
using gcc 3.3.

Seems when running the tests, it looks for a copy of Ruby already
installed in /usr/local. I went ahead and installed Ruby, then ran
the tests. They were all successful.

OS X has ruby installed in /usr/bin by default.

Try installing into /usr/local, the re-run the tests. I think you'll
find that they will work perfectly.

Another thing to check is your firewall settings. While I don't have
port 80 open in my firewall settings, you may need to do this, though
it's not likely to be necessary.

Cheers,
Mike
