Missing autoconf dependency #1759
Conversation
Seems as if the fii (whatever that does) gem requires autoconf to install/build.

You're reading it wrong - what it needs is libffi-dev which is why I added that to the production servers the other day. |
|
If it now needs libffi-dev then don't we need to add that the installation notes? |
|
Well sure, that was my point, that it needs that adding, not autoconf. |
|
Just as a clarification I was updating an existing installation, so was working from a slightly different situation as a completely new install (I simply added what was obviously missing the install of the gem), but naturally adding the correct dependency to the doc makes more sense |

Well you should never need autoconf - that is only needed by a developer who needs to rebuild In any case I don't think ruby modules even use that do they? They use mkmk and extconf.rb? |
