From: Michal Suchanek Date: 2008-04-24T19:59:35+09:00 Subject: LIBPATHFLAG quoting Hello There has been upgrade from autoconf 2.60 to 2.62 on OS X which leads to ruby failing to build. All linking tests fail which results in broken dl extension segfaulting during tests. Some C extensions don't build at all. The tests fail because quoting changed between these versions. LIBPATHFLAG=' -L"%s"' in configure.in results in -L"../.." on the linker command line with autoconf 2.60 and in -L\"../..\" with 2.62 and broken build. My suggestion is to remove the quoting (LIBPATHFLAG=' -L%s' because -I flags are not quoted anyway so a special character in a directory path would still break the build. Thanks Michal
