Subject: [Yarv-devel] Trouble installing rubygesm under YARV
Message-ID: <4441482D.3070105@gmail.com>

I've compiled YARV on a a Red Hat linux box with no problem (aside from 
the expected test failures).

I tried to install rubygems, but it doesn't go so well.


I have ruby 1.8.4 on the same machine, but no RUBYOPT settings.

I ran the rubygems setup.rb [config|setup|install] script using an 
explicit path to the yarv binary.

It gets to the point of checking for stubs, finds none, tells me it has 
built RubyGem, but then breaks:

...

No library stubs found.

   Successfully built RubyGem

Is this a known issue?  Any suggestions?

Line 506 is a call to  gzis.close, and gzis is supposed to have been set 
by a call to gzis = Zlib::GzipReader.new(sio || entry)



Any suggestions welcome.
