From: Lee Date: 2004-10-21T01:04:26+09:00 Subject: ruby-htmltools on cygwin - SystemStackError Hi Everyone, I have just installed Ruby under Windows painlessly and successfully: -- oe:~/My Documents/ruby 70>ruby -v ruby 1.8.2 (2004-10-15) [i386-cygwin] -- I then attempted to install ruby-htmltools and received the following output when running 'ruby install.rb install': -- [several successful tests snipped] 1) Error: test_match1(XPathTestCase): SystemStackError: stack level too deep /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/xpath_parser.rb:220:in `internal_parse' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/xpath_parser.rb:49:in `match' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/xpath_parser.rb:303:in `d_o_s' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/xpath_parser.rb:301:in `each_index' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/xpath_parser.rb:301:in `d_o_s' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/xpath_parser.rb:294:in `descendant_or_self' [the above 6 stack frames repeated many times snipped] 2) Error: test_match_all(XPathTestCase): SystemStackError: stack level too deep [the same repeating stack frames snipped] 3) Error: test_show_attribute(XPathTestCase): SystemStackError: stack level too deep [the same repeating stack frames snipped] 6 tests, 7 assertions, 0 failures, 3 errors install failed hook /usr/local/src/ruby-htmltools/./pre-install.rb failed: 'system /usr/local/bin/ruby -Ilib /usr/local/src/ruby-htmltools/test/tc_xpath.rb' failed try 'ruby install.rb --help' for usage -- If anyone can give me suggestions for successfully installing ruby-htmltools under Cygwin, I would be very appreciative. (I'm completely new to ruby, but I'm used to jumping through all sorts of hoops to install Perl modules under cygwin, so this stumbling block hasn't dimmed my enthusiasm for learning and using ruby yet :-) thanks, Lee
