Subject: Re: finding digest/md5.so and compiling ruby cleanly

fr Me ( Pe�a, Botp [mailto:botp@delmonte-phil.com] ):

# I need tips on how to compile ruby cleanly (Linux ubuntu 
# dapper 6.06 and ruby's stable-snapshot). I screwed up my 
# compilation and now ruby cannot_ load digest/md5.so. (i 
# recompiled again, still cannot load). This happened after i 
# removed /usr/local/lib/ruby directory; thinking of course 
# that it's better to recompile from a clean scratch.
# 
# Any tips on the md5.so not loading/(or creating)? (I don't 
# have my pc w me now, but i'm gathering tips so when i get 
# home, i'd know what to do).

ok, fyi only, just in case others may encounter this problem. i just found out that the snapshot has problems installing/finding the extension (be it md5, sha, readline, etc).

solution: i reinstalled (back) using the (older) the stable release 1.8.5. 

something is wrong with the stable-snapshot. i don't think it is stable enough .. (or maybe snapshots are for upgrades only..)

kind regards -botp
