Bug 89736 – Ruby-1.8.2-r1 fails to include rbconfig (emerge rubygems fails with a "No such file to load -- rbconfig"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dan Sherman 2005-04-19 17:19:11 UTC]

using Ruby-config-0.3.1 and ruby-1.8.2-r1 (both x86 stable), you get the following error when doing an "emerge rubygems" - "No such file to load -- rbconfig".  This can easily be solved by emerging ruby-1.8.2.  This leads me to believe that its a small packaging error in 1.8.2-r1

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ruby
2. emerge rubygems

Actual Results:  
No such file to load -- rbconfig

Expected Results:  
Install rubygems

These lines seem to be the culprit:

   sed -i -e 's:\(RUBY_LIB_PREFIX="\)${prefix}/lib:\1${libdir}:' \
       configure.in || die "sed failed"

ccing dev who made the modification:

herbs - your configure line sed call breaks the install; my guess is there's a small typo in the sed line.

(After you install Ruby with 1.8.2-r1 as is, nothing loads, as it can't find the library files).

My apologies, should be fixed now in cvs. Please verify and close this bug if appropriate.
