Subject: Re: Hurd and ruby 1.8preview2

Hi,

the ruby-1.8.0/ext/dl/extconf.rb didn't make the makefile.

ruby-1.8.0/lib/fileutils.rb was necessary by "make install" because
there didn't copy any files to the directory.

I try to emulate the error from extconf.rb .
This example didn't run on GNU/Hurd but on Linux (Suse).

!/usr/local/bin/ruby

def File.update(file, str)
        begin
                open(file){|f|f.read} == str
    #  open(file,File::CREAT|File::TRUNC|File::RDWR, 0644){|f|f.read} == str
        rescue Errno::ENOENT
                false
        end or open(file, "w"){|f|f.print(str)}
end


File.update("dlconfig.h", <<EOF)
#ifndef DLCONFIG_H
#define DLCONFIG_H
#{$dlconfig_h}
#endif /* DLCONFIG_H */
EOF

Here are the first error massage from make:

/home/hansen/ruby-1.8.0/ext/dl/extconf.rb:154:in `initialize': No such file 
or directory - "dlconfig.h" (Errno::ENOENT)
        from /home/hansen/ruby-1.8.0/ext/dl/extconf.rb:154:in `open'

        from ./ext/extmk.rb:217:in `glob'
        from ./ext/extmk.rb:217
make: *** [all] Error 1

The second error by fileutils.rb:

--make-flags="" --mantype="doc"
