Ruby 1.8.0 rpm?

Hal E. Fulton

10/1/2003 6:36:00 AM

I want to install on a box where I don't have root access.

For some reason, it has gcc but no yacc. :0

Is there a 1.8 rpm somewhere? That would simplify my life a little.

I've seen preview4 but nothing later.

Thanks,
Hal

Are you sure yacc is needed to build?
In my tarball (582a65e52598a4a1e9fce523e16e67d6 ruby-1.8.0.tar.gz),
the parser is in parse.c (pre-generated).

I thought the 1.8.0-1 meant preview 1. Is this really
the released 1.8 then?

I try to avoid the details. I think it was the stable snapshot
that I got -- don't know sum.

What happened to me was it crashed after building a few files.
It ends with:

gcc -g -O2 -I. -I. -c pack.c
yacc parse.y
make: yacc: Command not found
make: *** [parse.c] Error 127

That's all I know.

Down toward the bottom he's got 1.8.0-3 RPMs. Very nice.

Yes, this should be the first release of the ruby-1.8.0 RPM. The naming
convention for RPMs is that that third field is the release number,
which indicates the number of times this RPM package has been rebuilt
for the given software version (ruby 1.8.0). Usually those rebuilds
(which bump up the "release" number) are due to bug fixes. So, for
example, after ruby-1.8.0 has been out for awhile, the RPM package
maintainer might release a ruby-1.8.0-2.i386.rpm with the latest bug
fixes for ruby-1.8.0.
