Without ruby even if I rerun autoconf and ./configure it was still complaining. So I installed ruby: sudo aptitude install ruby autoconf ./configure BTW the output of make related to the missing ruby is here: ======= rm -f ruby ruby ./tool/insns2vm.rb --srcdir="." ======= now make went well and I got: $ ./ruby --version ruby 1.9.0 (2007-08-16 patchlevel 0) [i686-linux] I went on and typed $ make test [...] test_flow.rb ........................................... test_thread.rb ...................-- control frame ---------- c:0001 p:---- s:0001 b:-001 l:000000 d:000000 ------ --------------------------- -- backtrace of native function call (Use addr2line) -- 0x80ddc3a 0x80f6918 0x80f69eb 0x80b59f0 0xffffe420 0x80e0991 0x80e0b91 0x4003531b 0x4017057e ------------------------------------------------------- [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.9.0 (2007-08-16) [i686-linux] E test_block.rb ......................................... test_flip.rb . test_jump.rb ...................... test_literal.rb ................................................................................................................................................ #507 test_thread.rb:172:in `': core dumped [ruby-dev:31371] FAIL 1/715 tests failed make: *** [btest-miniruby] Error 1 (in the meantime I updated to r13060 ) So what's now?
