Problem with Ruby 1.8.4, C extensions, Solaris

Berger, Daniel

Hi all,

Solaris 10
Ruby 1.8.4
gcc 3.4.4
Sun's make and ld

Whenever I run 'make install' for any C extension built using mkmf, I get this
error:

sh: ./install-sh: not found

The 'INSTALL' target in the Makefile is simply: INSTALL = ./install-sh -c

However, there is no such program on my system. I suspect I can get around
this by building Ruby and all C extensions with GNU make, but that probably
won't be an option on production servers.

This actually started in Ruby 1.8.3. Things work fine with 1.8.2 and earlier.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan

What give ?

which install
which ginstall

See in configure for ruby

# Find a good install program. We prefer a C program (faster),
# so one script is as good as another. But avoid the broken or
# incompatible versions:

and

ruby -rrbconfig -e 'p Config::CONFIG["INSTALL"]'

and in the directory ruby-1.8.4

ruby -ne 'print if /result.*install/' config.log

this is when configure, for ruby, run that it search an install
program

Any more ideas? Looks like a bug to me in the configure script
somewhere in the code that starts at line 3779.

Also, the comment about using "/usr/etc/install" for SunOS is bogus,
since there is no such file on any Solaris machine I've ever touched. I
see an install program in /etc and /usr/sbin and that's it.
