[newbie] install problem

Amit Rao

I am trying to install ruby on mingw32 (on XP) ...
it worked fine for (or at least did not give me any errors) the
initial few steps.The make files were generated and the test succeded
as well.

but when i tried "make install" i get the following error

$ make install
/miniruby.exe ./instruby.rb --dest-dir="" --make="make" --mflags="-
--unix" --make-flags=" --unix" --mantype="man"
mkdir -p -m 755 //home/user/bin //home/user/lib

make: *** [install-nodoc] Error 1

What could i be missing???

When you ran ./configure what --prefix did you specify?

Maybe I'm wrongly thinking You're using the Msys shell, but in it:

ALiminality@localhost /
$ /$HOME
sh: //home/ALiminality: No such file or directory
guess this is why it fails...

ALiminality@localhost /
$ /HOME
sh: /HOME: is a directory

ALiminality@localhost /
$ $HOME
sh: /home/ALiminality: is a directory

so /$HOME won't work maybe You want $HOME ? , either don't add a
prefix(personally I never use that, just configure --enable-shared,make,
make install) or use --prefix=/c/ruby, guess /ruby should also work(or
wherever you want it to be).
