[ruby-core:38879] [Ruby 1.9 - Bug #5137] Ruby SVN Revision 32800: Cannot run installed ruby interpreter, Malformed Mach-o file

Issue #5137 has been updated by Chris White.


After some more in depth research, I realized that the issue was that a `ruby` executable existed in the toplevel source's bin/ directory which was overwriting the proper ruby executable. Since the file was not recreated after a clean build, this bug should be closed as invalid. 

I would recommend however that the ruby in the toplevel directory get installed after all the files in bin/ just in case.

Bug #5137: Ruby SVN Revision 32800: Cannot run installed ruby interpreter, Malformed Mach-o file
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5137

Author: Chris White
Status: Open
Priority: Normal

Category: 
Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0]


I have compiled Ruby trunk, with the following configure options:

./configure --prefix=/Users/chriswhite/Ruby/ruby-trunk

And after that:

make clean && make && make install

When I attempt to run the installed version, I get the following:

SOLAR:ruby chriswhite$ ~/Ruby/ruby-trunk/bin/ruby -v
-bash: /Users/chriswhite/Ruby/ruby-trunk/bin/ruby: Malformed Mach-o file

However, when I run the version in the source tree I get:

SOLAR:ruby chriswhite$ ./ruby -v
ruby 1.9.4dev (2011-08-01 trunk 32800) [x86_64-darwin10.8.0]

It seem that something in the `make install` process is causing this issue, but I'm not sure what it is. The ruby -v I've indicated is the version of ruby used when compiling trunk. This occurs for me on Mac OSX 10.6.8. Let me know any specific information you need and I'll provide it as soon as possible.
