Hey all,
I don't know where to drop a bug notice for Slackware, and thought this would be as likely a place as any other.
Also, please correct me if I'm wrong. My gcc-fu's not that good.
So the test case:
using the default ruby package:
- install sqlite from slackbuilds.org
- install rubygems
- install the sqlite3-ruby gem
The gem will not compile, complaining about a missing function.
After a bit of struggle and searching for the missing library, passing the parameters that the gem asks for, checking that the library is indeed in /usr/lib, I finally fixed this by doing the most stupid thing possible:
compiled ruby from source using ./configure make make install
then the gem installed with no problem.
here's the failed build's log file in it's entirety:
