Error Compile 1.8.0 and 1.8.1-pre2

[T. Onoma]

I'm trying to compile they latest. But i'm getting a SEGMENTATION FAULT error.

It happens on miniruby. I found a post that said to add --enable-shared. So I did and this got me to the next file libruby.so with an error saying 'Unkown nod type 0'.

I tried it on 1.8.1 and got the same segementation fault on miniruby. --enabled-shared didn't help.

I'll keep searching and hacking but I thought I'd put this out these to see if anyone has any ideas.

thanks,

p.s. I'm doing this on GoboLinux. So maybe the alternate file hiearchry is the problem, but I doubt I would have gotten as far as did if it were.

Could you show stack trace?

Sorry, I don't know much about compiling programs. How do I do what you are asking?

Run miniruby from gdb or run "gdb miniruby core" after
segfault, and type "where" (without quotes, with return).

Sorry, substitute gdb with debugger on your platform.
BTW, what's your platform at all?

okay, i'm running Linux on an Athlon XP and i beleive i'm compiling for i686. (hmmm... have to check which version of gcc). specifically i'm using GoboLinux which has a non-standard FHS, but I am pretty certian that i've told it where everything is.

when i try gdb it tells me that core dosen't exist. i.e. no such file or directory. do i need to do something to get core to exist? (or perhaps it's being placed somewhere else?)

the --enable-shared option got me past miniruby, it's now bombing right after that on libruby.so.1.8.1.

the error specifically says: 'mkmf.rb:354: [BUG] Segmentation Fault' if that helps.

thanks for your help,

Check `ulimit -c'.

Hmmm, only "false" line?

What's your configure options?

took me a bit to get back to...

returns: 0

./configure --prefix=/Programs/Ruby/1.8.1 \
--exec-prefix=/Programs/Ruby/1.8.1 \
--enable-shared \
--with-sitedir=/Programs/Ruby/1.8.1/lib/site_ruby \
--localstatedir=/Programs/Ruby/Variable \
--sysconfdir=/Programs/Ruby/Settings

like i said, Gobo has non-standard FHS. is it looking for something it can't find?

i have a log of the ./configure output too, if that would help. let me know.

So you have to do `ulimit -c 100000', or unlimited instead of a
number.

# --exec-prefix and --with-sitedir seem unnecessary...

Try configure with CFLAGS='-O0 -ggdb -g3'.

And what version is your gcc?

Well, it shouldn't ...

thank, truly, for the time you have given me! you seem a very giving spirit here. the world needs more people like you!

i tried ulimit -c 100000

and i tried this. nothing seems to have changed. still no core.

> And what version is your gcc?

3.3.1

As for non-standard FHS:

> Well, it shouldn't ...

not necessarily. i would like to see the whole of the system abstracted away from the FHS using namespaces instead. in other words, lets say i create a file. i give this file a globally unique name like 'www.onoma.net/mycategory/hiearchy/myfile' or something to that effect. then that file would always be accessable by that name, even if it on another system. gobo is sort of a first step for me in that direction.

but i may skip that step if i can't get ruby to compile! :)

Couldn't you run the crashing command from gdb?

$ gdb miniruby
...
(gdb) run (arguments to miniruby)
