Ruby 1.8.4 Mac OS X readline problems

[Daniel Harple-2]

Is anyone else having this problem?

#++++++
$ make test-all
./miniruby ./runruby.rb --extout=.ext -- -C "./test" runner.rb --
runner=console
dyld: NSLinkModule() error
dyld: Symbol not found: _rl_filename_completion_function

darwin8.3.0/readline.bundle
   Expected in: flat namespace

make: *** [test-all] Trace/BPT trap

My scripts run fine, but now I can't use readline in IRB (or anywhere).

Mac OS X 10.4.3
gcc version 4.0.0 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5026)

Compiling on Mac OS X 10.3.9 with gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple  
Computer, Inc. build 1666) I get a borked DRB test that exits with an  
error and no subsequent tests are run.

My advice is to wait until the 1.8.4 package is available from Darwin  
Ports or Fink.  I highly encourage everyone to use one (or both) of  
these tools for managing 99.9% of the *nix software on OS X.

Yes, I am. I don't want to install Fink or Darwin ports. I got
readline working with 1.8.2, and am now struggling to get it to work
with 1.8.4. readline.bundle is in ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.3.0.

I used "./configure --with-readline --enable-shared" to configure
Ruby, then make, then make install. When I tried running "rake test"
on a random Rails 1.0 project, the unit tests fail with

/usr/local/bin/ruby -Ilib:test
"/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.6.2/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb"

Hello

Your extension was not properly linked when ruby was built. If you did
the ruby tests it would probably reveal that. Since ruby does link
with -undefined suppress it happily builds and installs extensions
that do not work.
You can find the LDFLAGS change among the fink patches for ruby. I do
not know why ruby does this. I tried to post the patch here or to some
bugtracking system but I never noticed any explanation coming my way
nor was the patch applied.

Thanks

Michal

Have you offered this patch on the ruby-core mailing list?

[Jim Menard]

Here's how I fixed this problem: after installing Ruby 1.8.4, I edited
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.3.0/rbconfig.rb and added
"-lreadline" to the end of CONFIG["LIBS"].

No, I am not subscribed to ruby-core.

Aside my attempts to use ruby on exotic platforms now and then I am
not doing anything to the interpreter :)

Thanks

I had this same problem. I rebuilt my readline library ala:

  wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/readline-5.1.tar.gz
  tar -xzf readline-5.1.tar.gz
  cd readline-5.1
  ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && sudo make install

And then rebuilt ruby:

  make distclean && configure --with-readline-dir=/usr/local && make
&& make test-all

And all was well.

This also solved the problem for me.  Thanks for posting this Paul (:

I had to use curl though, as wget wasn't installed:

curl -O ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/readline-5.1.tar.gz
tar -xzf readline-5.1.tar.gz
cd readline-5.1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && sudo make install

I did this (though I couldn't get make distclean to run). And the test
still show an issue with WEBrick:

 1) Failure:

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I am having this problem with Ruby 1.8.6 and OSX 10.4.10.

I followed the fix instructions using curl:
curl -O ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/readline/readline-5.1.tar.gz
tar -xzf readline-5.1.tar.gz
cd readline-5.1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && sudo make install


Can you explain how to rebuild Ruby with make distclean && configure
--with-readline-dir=/usr/local && make && make test-all?

I tried pasting in the line after the ./configure was done, but I had no
success with the fix.
Did you resolve this problem??
