Subject: [ruby-core:71768] [Ruby trunk - Bug #11753] [Third Party's Issue] Building ruby-git on Arch Linux eats all memory on ./configure

Issue #11753 has been updated by Nobuyoshi Nakada.

Status changed from Open to Third Party's Issue

It's a part of standard `AC_INIT()`.
Probably a bug of Arch Linux which `autoconf` does not support yet.

Please report it to [Arch Linux](https://bugs.archlinux.org/) and/or [`autoconf`](http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/autoconf.html#bug),
with exact versions of the OS and `autoconf`.

Bug #11753: Building ruby-git on Arch Linux eats all memory on ./configure

----------------------------------------
Hi, 

I'm trying to build Ruby from sources.

What I tried:

1) Build from git using git clone, autoconf, ./configure
2) Build with RVM versions 2.2.1, 2.2-head, 2.1.5, ruby-head

All have failed when reaching the "./configure" phase.
It seems that all memory is getting eat up and the system hangs unless a quick "Ctrl + C" is pressed to stop the process.

Notes:

* I had ruby installed and working until trying to re-build
* I had a system restore which left most of /home/ with wrong permissions (was taken care of but maybe Ruby's configure needs some files with +x which don't have them right now?)
* Other programs which relays on "./configure" scripts work and build without issues.
