2.2.0 Build fails on Ubuntu 14.04.1 (x86_64) #690

endgame · 2014-12-25T21:57:20Z

ruby-build version:

20141225-1-g45b75ed

The acutal error is:

linking shared-object fiddle.so
/usr/bin/ld: ./libffi-3.2.1/.libs/libffi.a(raw_api.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

I've included the full build log below, please let me know if you need me to test anything or I can give you better information:

Please install libffi-dev via apt-get or use '--enabled-shared' option

endgame · 2014-12-26T09:17:20Z

Thank you, this fixes it for me.

jlecour · 2014-12-29T11:38:37Z

Same issue with Debian 7 ; libffi-dev was missing.

hsbt · 2014-12-30T01:41:49Z

I added this issue into FAQ: https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build/wiki#build-failure-of-fiddle-with-ruby-220

mislav · 2014-12-31T21:22:18Z

@hsbt Can you add these packages to "suggested build environment" on the top? That would help people who paste these instructions prior to installing Ruby versions on their respective systems.

hsbt · 2015-01-01T02:14:24Z

@mislav done! Thanks for your advice.

Hi, I'm using Debian jessie.
I cannot find this package :

sudo apt-get update; apt-cache search libffi

ainslied · 2015-01-02T15:33:18Z

Sorry, my /etc/apt/preferences was not empty

zachad · 2015-01-05T15:53:07Z

Same goes for CentOS 6.x where you'll need to yum install libffi-devel

GCorbel · 2015-01-10T17:55:33Z

sudo apt-get install libffi-dev workd for me on Linux Mint 17.1. Thanks!

ryanburnette · 2015-01-10T21:11:36Z

I'm having this exact issue on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS but I have libffi-dev installed. Posted as a question on Stack Oveflow in case anyone has any insight.

raulgobr · 2015-01-19T13:42:53Z

same here with 14.04.1 LTS. I have the libffi-dev.

gnodiah · 2015-01-22T06:46:04Z

sovled after installed libffi-dev, thanks

I am on 14.04.1 LTS and successfully installed 2.2 with rbenv install 2.2.0 after first running sudo apt-get install libffi-dev

ryanburnette · 2015-01-23T02:42:04Z

A guy on my SO issue said that he fixed it by setting CFLAG to CFLAG=-fPIC.

ghost · 2015-01-23T21:30:34Z

I also had the same issue with 14.04. LTS. Solved after installing libffi-dev.

hsbt · 2015-01-23T22:36:17Z

@ryanburnette We(ruby-core) added -fPIC option for next release of Ruby 2.2 🙇

ajahongir · 2015-02-13T14:31:08Z

👍

I had same problem, install libffi did not work but after I installed gcc using linuxbrew the ruby 2.2.0 installed successfully but installing gcc took 70 minutes on my VM.

See rbenv/ruby-build#690 (comment)

naskoblg · 2015-03-19T18:43:03Z

I have same issue with Ruby 2.2.1 on FreeBSD 9.3-STABLE amd64

I was able to fix it using:

- /etc/make.conf
CC=clang
CXX=clang++
CPP=clang-cpp
CFLAG=-fPIC
- export
$ CFLAG=-fPIC
$ export CFLAG
$ RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--enable-shared
$ export RUBY_CONFIGURE_OPTS

Then build:

@naskoblg We already fixed FreeBSD issue with upstream. see https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk/repository/revisions/49957

aried3r · 2015-03-20T09:56:00Z

@hsbt, so from what I've gathered, I do not have to manually install libffi-dev anymore with 2.2.1, right? Because I tried with 2.2.1 and still get the following when not installing libffi-dev

linking shared-object fiddle.so
/usr/bin/ld: ./libffi-3.2.1/.libs/libffi.a(raw_api.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
./libffi-3.2.1/.libs/libffi.a: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [../../.ext/x86_64-linux/fiddle.so] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/ruby-build.20150319171236.15537/ruby-2.2.1/ext/fiddle'
make[1]: *** [ext/fiddle/all] Error 2

The error message suggests, as @naskoblg already verified, that adding -fPIC to the compiler flags works. I'll see how I can do that, since I'm using rbenv via chef on Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS

manuelmeurer · 2015-03-20T10:20:17Z

Installing libffi-dev fixed this for me. (Ruby 2.2.1, Ubuntu 14.04)

kulbida · 2015-03-21T17:10:04Z

Installing libffi-dev didn't help to install ruby 2.2.1 on my Debian 7. However installing with --enabled-shared option activated helped. Thanks.

rilian · 2015-03-25T11:05:49Z

thanks, sudo apt-get install libffi-dev helped on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS to rbenv install 2.2.1 😍

FabFab · 2015-04-03T07:58:00Z

on Amazon Linux 2014.09, same as @zachad for Centos, of course.

yum install libffi-devel

Added libffi-dev as ruby dependency, so we avoid problems when building 2.2.x. Ref: rbenv/ruby-build#690

hsbt · 2015-04-19T09:51:58Z

Hi all. Please try to Ruby 2.2.2

aried3r · 2015-04-25T17:30:56Z

Hi all. Please try to Ruby 2.2.2

Works for me, thanks!

hsbt · 2015-04-25T23:23:25Z

@aried3r 👍 Thanks for your feedback

lifehome · 2015-04-28T05:24:25Z

After installing the libffi-devel-3.0.13-11.el7.x86_64 on Centos 7, it still fails to install Ruby 2.2.2...
Any idea?

UPDATE: installed after sudo -ing all the installation thing, but this is not good for long-term solution, right?

wtgee · 2015-08-17T17:44:55Z

After fiddling around a whole bunch, I found some errors in the logs related to certificates. This answer by Scott Emmons here (not the "correct" solution on that page but the second one down) fixed my problem.

lakesare · 2015-12-22T18:19:47Z

Thank you, helped for Ubuntu 15.10 with Ruby 2.2.1.

A couple "Configure PostgreSQL" commands didn't work as-is; clarified where password is asked. rbenv install 2.2.0 gives an obscure warning fixed by having libffi-devel [rbenv/ruby-build#690]. Their FAQ actually suggests more [https://github.com/rbenv/ruby-build/wiki#suggested-build-environment]: dnf install -y gcc bzip2 openssl-devel libyaml-devel libffi-devel readline-devel zlib-devel gdbm-devel ncurses-devel but `bzip2 libffi-devel readline-devel` 3 were enough to build. nodejs is the obvious option to satisfy ExecJS, otherwise sprockets/es6 gem refuses to load.

Markmwaura · 2016-06-19T13:50:55Z

installing sudo apt-get install libffi-dev worked for me on ubuntu 14.04.1. Thanks!

nathanjo · 2016-11-16T10:26:08Z

For AWS, after running yum install libffi-devel still issue occured, and need to execute yum install gcc and its fixed the issue.
