Bug 128082 – dev-lang/ruby no such file to load -- auto_gem (LoadError)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alistair Bush (RETIRED) 2006-03-30 00:41:10 UTC]

the ri and irb executables of dev-lang/ruby-1.8.3 produce this error

/usr/bin/ruby18: no such file to load -- auto_gem (LoadError)

Steps to reproduce
1) emerge =dev-lang/ruby-1.8.3  [-cjk +doc -socks5 +tcltk +threads]
2) run ri or irb

also other ruby packages (eg rubygems) fail to emerge with the obove error.

when I attempted to downgrade to ruby-1.8.2-r2 I recieved this error

./miniruby: No such file to load -- auto_gem (LoadError)
make: *** [rbconfig.rb] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
./miniruby: No such file to load -- auto_gem (LoadError)

what version of Rubygems do you have installed?

Did you downgrade recently?

The auto_gem spec is loaded from the ruby file in /etc/env.d/.  My guess is that you did something I didn't anticpate, so I need to know what you've done recently with ruby stuff.

Created attachment 83455 [details]
output of more emerge.log | grep ruby

This is the emerge.log history for ruby packages.  If you would like me to clean this up more just give me a shout.

[Comment 3 Alistair Bush (RETIRED) 2006-03-30 12:14:55 UTC]

I have dev-ruby/rubygems-0.8.11

I have just upgraded to dev-ruby/rubygems-0.8.11-r4 and it seems to have fixed this problem.

Is there anything more you would like me to do?  try break it again?

[Comment 4 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2006-03-30 12:17:59 UTC]

Your logs show you installing rubygems-0.8.11-r4 a couple of times, then for some reason installing 0.8.11.  Not sure why that is, but that's the culprit.

However, I need to find a way to fix it so this doesn't creep in.

[Comment 5 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2006-03-30 12:47:11 UTC]

/etc/env.d/10rubygems uninstalls just find on my system with rubygems is downgraded, so I don't think this bug is valid.

Looks to me like you did a downgrade of rubygems but never ran env-update, which probably cause the bug.

[Comment 6 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2006-04-06 16:27:43 UTC]

should be fixed with rubygems-0.8.11-r5

[Comment 7 Patrick Borjesson 2006-05-31 15:03:06 UTC]

I've just installed a fresh system, and got this same error as part of an emerge of subversion. 

I've not got rubygems installed at all as none of the packages I've got installed requires it. 

Would suggest making rubygems a hard dependency of dev-lang/ruby as the interpreter doesn't work without it...

[Comment 8 Patrick Borjesson 2006-05-31 15:12:08 UTC]

Ehm... ignore me

I'm installing inside a chroot and the RUBYOPT environment variable wasn't unset as part of chrooting into the new install, thus ruby failed as rubygems wasn't installed on the new system yet but was expecting it since RUBYOPT="-rauto_gem"
