Fedora 19 + ruby-build = error: ‘EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m’ undeclared

[supr]

Hi,

I use Fedora 19 as my primary development system. When using ruby-build plugin with rbenv i get the following error

ossl_pkey_ec.c:766:17: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘EC_GF2m_simple_method’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
                 method = EC_GF2m_simple_method();

see #443

this issue isn't ruby-build issue. I reported this and already fixed ruby-core ref. http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9065

Documented this caveat on the wiki

@mislav could you link to a formatted patch? The wiki instructions link to the HTML diff: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk/repository/revisions/41808/diff

@postmodern I linked to the HTML because it's viewable in the browser, while the "unified diff" link is a forced download. However, I'll soon merge #469 which adds the --patch flag and will revise documentation and instructions with ready examples of how you can apply some of these essential patches.
