I cannot manage to successfully install rb-gsl from gems.
System is Gentoo Linux on x86 architecture. Full system should be current at least to April 2011 (but many updates
since then, so somewhat more current).
ruby --version
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [i686-linux]
gsl-config is working fine, and version is 1.14. No obvious problems I can see with the libs or cflags. It's possible
I am missing an important flag, but Gentoo's portage does not offer many flags for this package.
The latest ruby-gsl wrapper is installed, version 0.2.0 (http://ruby-gsl.sourceforge.net/)
Also tried with ruby 1.9.3 (ruby is slotted here), but the results seem basically the same (although in that case I
don't have the ruby-gsl wrapper, since it is not ported to ruby 1.9 as far as I can see, and gave build errors if this
was enforced).
I expect this is a simple dependency issue, or some linking error, but after a number of hours I can't fix it myself,
or find anyone with a similar-enough problem that gave a solution.
The nearest similar build-fail I find is listed here (https://gist.github.com/754414) but I can't find any relevant
references to the dump and if/how the problem was solved (although it is one year old).
Build command was simply gem install gsl (but I also tried the manual version as per the documentation, but the result
is identical).
Build log is attached. Can you help me please? |
