Problems with extensions, RHEL4, $LOAD_PATH

[Daniel Berger]

Ruby 1.8.5
RHEL 4, x86-64
gcc 3.4.5
make 3.80

Something very strange is happening here. The bigdecimal.so file =
clearly exists:

[ djberge@lxomp55e /usr/local/lib/ruby ] $ pwd
/usr/local/lib/ruby
[ djberge@lxomp55e /usr/local/lib/ruby ] $ find . -name 'bigdecimal.so'
/1.8/x86_64-linux/bigdecimal.so

Yet Ruby can't find it:

djberge@some_host /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8 ] $ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'bigdecimal'
LoadError: no such file to load -- bigdecimal
from (irb):1:in `require'
from (irb):1


Even though it's in my $LOAD_PATH:

irb(main):002:0> $:
=3D> ["/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8",=20
"/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux",=20
"/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8",=20
"/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux", "."]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What's going on?

Thanks,

Dan

PS - Works fine if I install it in the sitelibdir

I did notice that autoconf wasn't installed originally. So, I installed =

autoconf (2.59), did a 'make clean' and reinstalled. Still no luck.

oh well. i was hoping you were picking up an old one ;-)

I did notice that autoconf wasn't installed originally. So, I installed
autoconf (2.59), did a 'make clean' and reinstalled. Still no luck.

hmmm. no idea, but does either of these give any leads?

/usr/local/bin/ruby -r /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/bigdecimal.so -e 42

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib /usr/local/bin/ruby -r /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/bigdecimal.so -e 42

/usr/local/bin/ruby -r yaml -r rbconfig -e' y Config::CONFIG ' | less

grasping at straws...


btw. i can compile 1.8.5 on a rhel4 box later today and give you a report.

GAH! Stupid sudo umask settings!

It was a permissions issue. Disregard.

Thanks,
