Rails - Jul 2009 - gem install - how to link additional library to native library (krb5 to ruby-pg)

Hello!

I''m trying to install ruby-pg gem on my Ubuntu 9.04
So I''m typing:
sudo gem install ruby-pg

Gem is downloaded from remote repository, but linking of native
library fails with following results:
------
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing ruby-pg:
	ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb install ruby-pg
checking for main() in -lpq... no

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.

It looks, that libpq5 installed on my Ubuntu needs libkrb53 package.
Libkrb I have in standard place: /usr/lib, but krb5 library has to be
added to cc command as additional library.

So I''m using option "with-opt-lib" to "gem
install":
sudo gem install ruby-pg -- --with-opt-lib=krb5

Now krb5 library appeared in -L command instead of -l (see below log),
what caused that native library still cannot be linked.

Here is mkmf.log:
------

--- cut ---


Questions are:
1. Why --with-opt-lib adds entry to -L ?

2. How to add additonal library (krb5), which should be linked to
native library?


My environment is:
ubuntu 9.04
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i486-linux]
gem --version 1.3.1
ruby-pg-0.7.9.2008.01.28
postgresql 8.3.7-1
libpq5
libkrb53

because that''s what it''s supposed to do: it''s for
telling extconf
"here is an extra path to search for

not sure about that. you may be able to play around with the usual set
of environment variables (LDFLAGS etc.)

It appears that you cannot reference libpq which is the C application
programmer''s interface to PostgreSQL.  In the above, you have libpq5
installed on your system but the Ruby gem, ruby-pg, is looking for libpg.
 To correct this issue, you might want to take a look at the ruby-pg git rep
ository here:

http://github.com/maxime/ruby-pg-for-ruby-1.9.1rc2/tree/master

Finally, I don''t know enough about the ruby-pg gem in regards to
configuring
the Kerberos.

I have forgot to mention Kerberos needs to be enabled when you build
Postgres server because I don''t think this is done by default.

I don''t add libpq during installing ruby-pg. It is added automatically
by installation string (extconf.rb).
I think it has sense, because ruby-pg use native library written in C
in order to access PostgreSQL. But first this native library has to be
compiled using libpq...

I also installed on my Ubuntu libpgsql-ruby package, which contains
pg.so in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux.
But I have no idea how to force "gem install ruby-pg" to use pg.so
instead of libpq (if it''s correct direction).

Maybe pg.so is this native library, which cannot be linked during
installation ruby-pg?
I yes, then how can I force "gem install ruby-pg" to use this already
installed pg.so, instead of compiling it?

In fact I don''t use kerberos in my project! But libpq depends on
libkrb :-(, so I have linking errors.

Please reread my statement above about what''s going on.  In short,
your build fails because it cannot locate the pg library.

You misunderstood what I was trying to explain to you.  The reference to the
pq library
needs to be corrected for what ruby-pg expects.  For example,

have_library: checking for main() in -lpq... -------------------- no

The above error message says that it could not find libpq on your system in
the
configure step on the build.

Again, you have libpq5 installed and the Ruby gem, ruby-pg, is looking
libpg.  For example, libpg is not equal to libpq.

libpq doesn''t depend on libkrb unless you build Postgres with the
Kerberos
feature
enabled.  Did you enable Postgres with Kerberos when you installed it?

I''m not so sure about that. What this means is that the test program
that tried to test linking against libpq failed to compile. Most
obviously this would be because libpq can''t be found but
doesn''t look
like it in this case. Like I said before i would play around with the
LDFLAGS environment variable and see if you could use that to make it
link against the kerberos library.

The libpgsql-ruby library is basically the ruby postgres bindings (at
least one of them - there have been a number of them over time, all
with rather similar names), but installed via your package manager
rather than as a gem. Assuming this library is the set of bindings
that you do want you don''t need the gem - you''d just end up
with the
same code installed twice, once as a gem and once not (although the
timestamp in the version number for it makes it look quite old).

Problem is that looking into mkmf.log I don''t see any problem with pg
library. Nothing like -lpg in cc statement... Instead of pg, pq is
used. Looking into extconf.rb script (used by "gem install ruby-pg") I
also see that pq is used there. Not pg...

It looks like this at the first sight. But mkmf.log says more details
about this error:
/usr/lib/libpq.so: undefined reference to `krb5_cc_get_principal

So libpq was found, but it refer to krb5, which cannot be found.
I know that krb5 cannot be found and I''m trying to add -lkrb5 somehow
in a legal way (without modifying gem installation scripts) - for
example by adding some option to command "gem install".

That may be a problem. I installed Postgres from Ubuntu repository,
where Kerberos is enabled by default.
So: my own Postgres compilation witout Kerberos should solve the
problem (although
 it wont be the best solution).

I agree with you: compilation of test program fails.

Following sequence:
export LDFLAGS=-lkrb5
sudo gem install ruby-pg

changes nothing. "-lkrb5" wasn''t added to cc command in
mkmf.log

Yes. That could be a solution. But this package installed only /usr/
lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux/pg.so library and some documents. None rb
script was installed! I feel that without .rb scripts I cannot use
ruby-pg adapter in my rails.


I think I will try to compile myself postgres + libpq without
Kerberos.
Then ruby-pg should be installed without problems.

Conrad, Fred: Thanks for your help!

I''d try fiddling with some of the other flags then. CCFLAGS etc.

Not necessarily. While sometimes you might only implement the
bottlenecks in c with some ruby that makes the C bits prettier there
are plenty of things which are just a blob of native code.

CCFLAGS also didn''t help, but...

I just tried to use libpgsql-ruby package as you mentioned and it
works!!!

This is some kind of magic for me: plain pg.so library is used
directly by rails without any .rb wrappers.
Never think that something is impossible, especially in Ruby :-)

Thanks a lot!

This is good to here.

@ Frederick Cheung

Is there documentation as to what database adapters people should
be using for the various database engines on a particular OS?  For example,
something like

                               Operating Systems

Database Engine       Mac OS                                          Linux
                               Windows                       ...

PostgreSQL

MySQL

SQLite                      sudo gem install  sqlite3-ruby

...
