From: "John-Mason P. Shackelford" Date: 2006-06-14T02:16:48+09:00 Subject: Solaris 9 SPARC packages for RubyGems? Anyone out there ever build a Solaris 9 SPARC package for RubyGems? I'd be grateful if you'd be willing to share it or a spec file. BTW, it looks to me like the http://sunfreeware.com package for Ruby 1.8.4 is incompatible with their openssl package. The openssl package installs into /usr/local/ssl but Ruby is looking for it in a standard location so: $ ruby -e "require 'md5'" /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.9/digest/md5.so: ld.so.1: ruby: fatal: libcrypto.so.0.9.8: open failed: No such file or directory - /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.9/digest/md5.so (LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/md5.rb:6 from -e:1 $ ldd /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/sparc-solaris2.9/digest/md5.so libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => (file not found) libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1 libcrypt_i.so.1 => /usr/lib/libcrypt_i.so.1 libm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libm.so.1 libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1 libgen.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgen.so.1 /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240/lib/libc_psr.so.1 Has anyone modified the packages or built their own to overcome this? As a Linux user unfamiliar with Solaris and its package manager, I find that I am knocking my head against the wall quite a bit trying to get Ruby into production on Solaris... Too many machines to build from source everywhere...
