I can find this oniguruma.h in ~/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.3-p547/include/ruby/ directory,
and i reexec ./configure --with-oniguruma=/home/b080605/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.3-p547, it happened:

configure:13115: checking for oniguruma.h
configure:13129: gcc -std=gnu99 -c  -g -O2 -I/home/b080605/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.3-p547/include -I/home/b080605/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.3-p547/include/ruby  conftest.c >&5
In file included from conftest.c:23:0:

 typedef size_t         OnigDistance;
 ^
configure:13129: $? = 1

Did i got a wrong oniguruma.h, or something else ?

I am tring to involve in your project, but it seams it's a long way to go. ==||
I need you help, please.

Best regards.

What operating system are you using? You need the onigiruma development
headers.
The package is usually either oniguruma-dev or oniguruma-devel.

try:
brew install -vvv oniguruma
./configure --with-oniguruma=/usr/local/Cellar/oniguruma/5.9.5/

[wtlangford]

@pannous I'd use ./configure --with-oniguruma=$(brew --prefix oniguruma), personally. Just a bit safer.

@wtlangford - I'm not sure how easy it is to find instructions for installing jq1.4+. Would it make sense to add information such as the suggestion you offered above to the Installation section of the FAQ? I'd be happy to do this myself but I'm not sure what "recipes" to offer for non-Mac environments.

[b08060514]

Thanks all of you, i had fix it.

@wtlangford - My system is Ubuntu
$ uname -a Linux XXXXXXX 3.11.0-26-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 04:02:06 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
There may be no onigiruma package on Ubuntu or my source, so i refered to the Installation section of the FAQ as @pkoppstein told, and downloaded it form http://www.geocities.jp/kosako3/oniguruma, then this problem fixed.

I can move on now.
thanks all of u again.

Could someone please verify that libonig2 is what's needed on ubuntu?

[liaowang11]

libonig-dev is what's needed on ubuntu.

I just got done compiling jq on Mac OSX, thought I'd share what I had to do. Note I use MacPorts not HomeBrew so if that's different for you then you may need compile fewer / more things from source.

Install Bison 3:

cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-3.0.3.tar.gz
tar -xvzf bison-3.0.3.tar.gz
cd bison-3.0.3
sudo port install m4
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bison
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bison/bin/bison /usr/bin/bison

Install RVM dependencies:

cd ~/jq/docs
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby=1.9.3
cd docs
bundle install

Install C headers

wget http://www.geocities.jp/kosako3/oniguruma/archive/onig-5.9.6.tar.gz
tar -xf onig-5.9.6.tar.gz
cd onig-5.9.6
./configure
make
sudo make install

Build jq

cd ~/jq
autoreconf -i
./configure
make -j8
sudo make install

@textarcana - Thanks for the "recipe", which I have incorporated into a new page on the jq wiki: https://github.com/stedolan/jq/wiki/Installation
