Be more specific: - what exactly did you type? - what exactly did you see? - when exactly did this happen? For example, are you getting this segfault when you compile ruby 1.9, or when you run an application? If so, what's the application? Does that application use any gems? Are any of those gems 'native' gems (i.e. compile C code)? Are those gems all known to work with ruby 1.9? http://isitruby19.com/ See also http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#intro Also consider why you are running 1.9. If stability and/or compatibility are important to you, then I'd suggest you stick with 1.8.x -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
