Asp Forum - Ruby 1.8.3 preview1 Build Error on AIX 5.2

Hello,

I've found other errors on AIX 5.2 with gcc 3.4.4 :

-A) Configuration error :

The configure script don't choose the right install program. It chooses the
../install-sh.
In the /usr/bin directory, there are 2 install program (install and
installbsd). The script must choose "/usr/sbin/installbsd -c"

For instance, one can add the following lines after line 3803 of configure :
...
if test $ac_prog = install &&
grep dspmsg "$as_dir/$ac_prog$ac_exec_ext" ; then
# AIX install. (AIX >= 4 can have install and installbsd)
# First assure that we have AIX
# Then we have installbsd program
ac_prog=installbsd
if test -x "$as_dir/$ac_prog$ac_exec_ext"; then
# # AIX install with installbsd
ac_cv_path_install="$as_dir/$ac_prog$ac_exec_ext -c"
break 3
fi
# AIX install. It has an incompatible calling convention.
elif test $ac_prog = install &&
...

-B) Can't build the socket extension for 2 reasons :

-B1) The t_open function is in the libxti. So you have to change the
extconf.rb. Probably one can write something like :
when /powerpc-aix[45].*/
test_func = "socket"
have_library("xti", "t_open")
have_library("c","socket")
else
...

-B2) The configuration fails with an IPV6 test. But, i don't use IPV6.
So I have no idea about this error. In the attached file, you will find
mkmf.log.
On the screen i have the following messages :

RUBY_PLATFORM => [powerpc-aix5.2.0.0]
checking for t_open() in -lxti... yes
checking for socket() in -lc... yes
checking for ipv6... yes

Fatal: --enable-ipv6 is specified, and your OS seems to support IPv6
feature.
But your getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() are appeared to be broken. Sorry,
you cannot compile IPv6 socket classes with broken these functions.
You can try --enable-wide-getaddrinfo.
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:
--with-opt-dir
--with-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
--with-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
--with-make-prog=make
--srcdir=.
--curdir=/usr11/home/phil/RUBY/ruby-1.8.3/UNIX_SHARED/PB_SOCKET
--ruby=/usr/local/ruby-183/bin/ruby
--with-xtilib=xti
--with-clib=c
--enable-ipv6
--disable-ipv6
--with-ipv6-lib
--with-ipv6-libdir
--enable-wide-getaddrinfo
--disable-wide-getaddrinfo

Any body has an idea ?

It is not a stuff of ruby, you should claim it to autoconf
developers instead. If it is incorporated to newer autoconf,
the problem will be solved.

Or this doesn't work?

configure INSTALL="/usr/sbin/installbsd -c"

Thank you the info.

Have you tried `configure' with the above option, or
--disable-ipv6?

OK, I 'll do that.
It would be interesting for people using ruby on AIX to know that !.

Yes, It works.

Yes, it works with --enable-wide-getaddrinfo and also with --disable-ipv6.
But, I have an AIX installed by IBM. So, because extconf.rb detects that
IPV6 libraries exists, why it fails on a getaddrinfo function ?. Is it an
AIX bug or a Ruby extension configuration bug ? That's the question ?.
Perhaps, anybody using Ruby on AIX have an idea about that.

How can I give (pass on) atomaticaly somes parameters as --disable-ipv6, to
an extension module (socket) from the main Makefile ?
Is it possible ?

Thanks.

Philippe Lucas.

Can't you show the mkmf.log file?

$ configure --disable-ipv6

or

$ make configure_args='--disable-ipv6'

would work.

How about 'patch2' of ruby-talk:142201, which is already commited to
the CVS repository
http://www.ruby-talk.org/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-t...
