Rails - Mar 2005 - rails on suse

Dear people, 

Are any of you running rails on suse ? I am using suse
pro 9.2 and it only comes with ruby 1.8.1 and trying
to install ruby 1.8.2 has caused zlib errors. 

Asking on the ruby mailing list didn''t get any
favourable replies. Any help would be greatly
appreciated as I really like ror and would like using
it on my suse machine.

I had this problem as well. I ended up compiling it from scratch. The
problem is that you need all the dependencies as well. Which is where
the problem is. Suse is a rpm based distribution and zlib like most
libraries come in 2 rpms. One which contains the binaries and the
other which contains libraries and headers which normally has a
"-devel" after the package name. Ruby wont pick up that youve got zlib
installed unless you install that.

I used: zlib-devel-1.2.1-70.6.i586.rpm
Just make sure youve got one that matches the version of zlib youve got.

There may also be other dependencies needed for each one make sure you
have the corresponding -devel package installed as well.

regards
Pelle

I''m on suse pro 9.2 too and just compiled/installed ruby 1.8.2 so I
could
upgrade ror. The "obvious" thing I missed on the first go-round was
that
suse wants to put ruby in /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin. This works:

		./config --prefix /usr
		make
		make test
		su
			make install

I had installed all the devel packages when I upgraded to 9.2 so that part
wasn''t an issue.

best wishes,
Ron
