Subject: some local issues with ruby 1.8.0 preview 4 and 5



I have been building preview 4 to add new functions to libpcap-ruby for 
a couple of weeks
without any problem, but I can't build preview 5 and the error is


[dhcp-64-101-108-187:ruby/1.8Preview5/ruby-1.8.0] gjin% make

./ext/extmk.rb:104: warning: Insecure world writable dir

This happens even with /sw/lib, where gdbm is installed, is in the 
library path.
I then tried to add symbolic links to /usr/local/lib :
[dhcp-64-101-108-187:/usr/local/lib] gjin% sudo ln -s 
/Volumes/OpenApps/sw/lib/libgdbm.la libgdbm.la
Password:
[dhcp-64-101-108-187:/usr/local/lib] gjin% sudo ln -s 
/Volumes/OpenApps/sw/lib/libgdbm.a libgdbm.a
[dhcp-64-101-108-187:/usr/local/lib] gjin% sudo ln -s 
/Volumes/OpenApps/sw/lib/libgdbm.2.0.0.dylib libgdbm.dylib
[dhcp-64-101-108-187:/usr/local/lib] gjin%

but it didn't help.




The problem I have with preview 4 is

Dir.open(ARGV[1])

is getting error when the directory passed with ARGV[1] doesn't exist:

/Users/gjin/code/util/ruby/IP/myTest.rb:8:in `open': No such file or 
directory - /Volumes/users/gjin/cisco/passthru/decoded/qqq 
(Errno::ENOENT)
         from /Users/gjin/code/util/ruby/IP/myTest.rb:8

Dir.open is supposed to create a new directory if it doesn't exist.

Strange thing is the same script work on another machine that runs the 
same 1.8 preview 4.
I guess I am missing something with this machine.
Both machines are powerMac G4 dual 1.25 running OS X 10.2.6.
