Can you please attach your /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/rbconfig.rb file?

[Comment 3 Joerg Plate 2005-01-29 03:32:59 UTC]

Created attachment 49815 [details]
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/rbconfig.rb

The only rbconfig.rb i have is /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/rbconfig.rb

[Comment 4 Joerg Plate 2005-02-20 03:30:21 UTC]

The error disappears if you use
    CONFIG["srcdir"] = "/usr/include"
in rbconfig.rb.
But i doubt it is a valid solution...

[Comment 6 Carles Escrig 2005-04-04 08:42:38 UTC]

I had same problem triying to emerge ruby-glib2:

>>> Source unpacked.
can't find header files for ruby.

!!! ERROR: dev-ruby/ruby-glib2-0.12.0 failed.
!!! Function ruby-gnome2_src_compile, Line 33, Exitcode 1

Solved it editing the rbconfig.rb at line 32:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/rbconfig.rb

-  CONFIG["libdir"] = "$(DESTDIR)/usr/lib64"
+  CONFIG["libdir"] = "$(DESTDIR)/usr/lib"

Created attachment 56516 [details, diff]
ruby-1.8.2-r2.diff

better solution :)

[Comment 8 MATSUU Takuto (RETIRED) 2005-04-17 07:57:48 UTC]

my amd64 has same problem. It is multilib problem.
Please apply a patch.

matsuu, please apply your patch and close the bug. 
(The patch seems ok but I cannot test it on 64bit arch)

Fixed (ruby-1.8.2-r1.ebuild):

  20 Apr 2005; Herbie Hopkins <[e-mail]> ruby-1.8.2-r1.ebuild:
  Fix my sed statement... bug #89736.

  19 Apr 2005; Herbie Hopkins <[e-mail]> ruby-1.8.2-r1.ebuild:
  Correct a hard-coded lib path in the configure script to close bug #76111
  (for real this time)
