😦 are you able to build from a clone?

[ghost]

Nope. I just tried & got the same result:

OK, thanks, just wanted to check.

Is this on Mavericks? What compiler are you using, gcc or clang? If you're using gcc, could you give clang a try? You can specify this when building from source by running ./configure --cc=clang --cxx=clang++.

[ghost]

Yes, it's on Mavericks. My original attempts were using gcc. I tried with clang as suggested and it still crashes: https://gist.github.com/c9de379ad1b7465b2933

The last few lines before that are:

@vonvo-carlo Ah, those lines are like the most critical information here 😄. Somehow it seems to be in a weird state where it can't find any of the compiled Ruby files to load.

Can you write down the exact steps that you've done here so we can try and reproduce the problem? So cloning the repo, running bundler, configure etc.

[ghost]

Sure, I just followed the instructions in the README to the letter:

To install Rubinius, use the following steps:

  1. Ensure that MRI 2.0+, rubygems, rake, and git are installed
  2. git clone git://github.com/rubinius/rubinius.git
  3. cd rubinius
  4. bundle
  5. ./configure --prefix=/path/to/install/dir
  6. rake

It fails at step 6.

[ghost]

Well, this is awkward... I figured out what's going on. I had rbx-2.2.1 set as my global default instead of MRI Ruby. Doh! I switched it to MRI (as stated in the README!) and everything works perfectly.

[yorickpeterse]

Did you happen to try and install Rbx in the same directory as rbx-2.2.1 was installed? I believe that starting with 2.2.5 (or something like that) Rbx is supposed to be able to compile/install itself.

[ghost]

No, I installed it to its own directory.
