wxruby users - Apr 2007 - Wxruby doesn''t work on my Debian sid ( glibc error )

Hi everyone !
i can''t make wxruby work on my debian box, i installed wxruby2preview
with
the gem command line tool
but when i try to run one of the samples, i get this error message :

dialogs.rb:1:in `require'': no such file to load -- wxruby (LoadError)
        from dialogs.rb:1

i searched this mailing list a bit, i tried with the -rubygem argument, i
get this error  :

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require'': no such file to load -- wxruby (LoadError)
        from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require''
        from dialogs.rb:1

then i tried with the ruby shell ( irb ),  i entered
require ''wx''
then i get these errors

LoadError: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4'' not found
(required by

        from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:32:in
`require''
        from (irb):3

i checked my apt-get package manager, i have libc6, libc6-dev installed, i
don''t know why i have these errors ( i did installed the linux-i686
version
of wxruby not the windows or mac ones )

thanks

Debian sid provides glibc 2.3.6-1, so unfortunately you will be out of
luck unless you feel like upgrading on your own (something I *do not*
recommend - if you want to upgrade glibc you''re probably better off
just installing a different distro (if this is just a personal system,
Ubuntu?))

As Philip says, the problem is that the wxruby gem is built on a system 
with a newer glibc than that provided by your distro. For info, it''s 
built on the current stable release of Ubuntu.

I understand there''s recently (last few days) been a new stable release
of Debian, which I would hope includes a newer glibc. Failing that, it 
is not too hard to compile wxRuby yourself on Linux - the wiki supplies 
fairly comprehensive instructions.

Right, good suggestion about just compiling wxRuby :) [I forgot that
part, as I once tried to upgrade glibc on a system and my mind
immediately went to the headache that was]

By the way, the new release of Debian still does not include glibc
2.4, and I got the part about 2.3.6 wrong -> Debian provides glibc2.2
(the documentation version number is 2.3.6)

Paul,

I don''t have a Linux machine right now but it looks like rake is
looking for the unicode version of the XRC part of wxWidgets.

I would check:

1) That you are in fact using the unicode build of wxWidgets
2) That the XRC part of the library is actually installed

When I have used wxWidgets with Linux in the past I always compile
wxWidgets myself, did not have much luck  with the apt-get packages.

the wxwidgets i use are the one provided by the debian repositories, i
don''t
know if this is the unicode version or not ..
i did some research, the xrc part of the library is included in the
contrib-dev package that i just installed, but the error message remains ...

if i want to compile wxwidgets by myself, woudn''t that conflict with
the
wxwidgets .debs already installed ?(  .deb required by some wxwidgets apps i
already use )
i mean how can i replace the repository wxwidgets by the one i''ll
compile,
without breaking my wxwidgets apps ??

or maybe is there a way to compile wxwidgets, that i don''t install, and
then
i would tell rake to use this wxwidgets instead of my system''s one ??
thanks

It shouldn''t be a problem to have multiple versions of wxWidgets 
installed with different compile options. The designers of wxWidgets 
make this particularly easy on Linux and OS X, through the use of 
wx-config. This allows applications to compile against different 
installed versions. wxRuby currently will compile against the default 
install.

You can find this out by running wx-config --list on the command line. 
For example, I''ve got seven different versions installed, and am 
currently working on the development branch of wxruby which targets 2.8 
(0.0.39 targets 2.6). I get:


SCIPIUS:~ alex$ wx-config --list

    Default config is mac-unicode-release-static-2.8

  Default config will be used for output

  Alternate matches:
    mac-ansi-release-2.5
    mac-ansi-release-static-2.5
    mac-ansi-release-static-2.6
    mac-unicode-debug-static-2.6
    mac-unicode-release-static-2.6
    mac-unicode-release-static-2.7

I think the --libdir argument will not be respected by rake - so I''d 
guess you are still compiling against the system''s non-unicode
version.

I''d suggest installing the newly compiled unicode wxWidgets (make 
install)- it should be no problem to have multiple different versions 
installed in parallel.

Before you run rake to compile wxruby, test that wx-config returns the 
correct configuration (i.e. gtk-unicode-release-static)

ok i''ll try
thanks again

i intalled wxwidgets 2.8 static gtk unicode, the wx-config output is correct

Default config is gtk2-unicode-release-static-2.8
Default config will be used for output

but now i get different errors .... :''(    :

i checked that directory
/usr/local/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-release-static-2.8/wx/setup.h

maybe it''s this file which cause a problem ??

p.s.  the wxwidgets make install didn''t install wxwidgets to the right
directory ( not detected by wx-config ), i had to move the wx-2.8 folder
from /usr/local/include to /usr/include, and then it was detected by
wx-config

thanks in advance

That looks good, but I''m afraid the 0.0.39 release requires wxWidgets 
2.6.3, not 2.8. I think the errors are because of that.

You can either
1) compile wxWidgets 2.6.3 using the same options and install it 
alongside the 2.8 you''ve built
2) download the wxwidgets_282 branch from wxruby''s subversion repo, 
which targets wxWidgets 2.8

I''d recommend option 1) as the development branch may be less stable. 
And you''ll have wxWidgets 2.8 ready for the next wxruby release...

Alex

i can''t believe it, it works !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you so much !!

if you want i can give you the .gem ( if others glibc<<2.4 users
can''t run
wxruby like me )

Great, glad it all worked out in the end. Thanks for your
patience.

That''s a kind offer, thanks. I don''t think the gems
distribution system
will be able to tell the two gem files apart if we put it on rubyforge - 
we''ve had a few problems with this in the past - but I''m sure
the binary
gem and/or the details on the mailing list will be helpful to anyone 
else on a similar Linux distro.
