Description David Lutterkort 2006-03-07 05:24:01 UTC

The problem is that none of the standard install locations for ruby libraries
are the same between 32 and 64 bit architectures.

The following entries in Config::CONFIG should be changed:
rubylibdir - '/usr/lib/ruby/RUBY_VERSION' on all arches
sitelibdir - '/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/RUBY_VERSION' on all arches
sitedir - '/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby' on all arches
archdir - /usr/lib/ruby/RUBY_VERSION/ARCH for 32bit and
/usr/lib64/ruby/RUBY_VERSION/ARCH for 64bit
sitearchdir - /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/RUBY_VERSION/ARCH for 32bit and
/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/RUBY_VERSION/ARCH for 64bit

Also, $: probably needs to be initialized a little differently to ensure that
64bit binaries receive preference over 32bit binaries on multilib. I believe the
following would be a better order: [ sitearchdir, sitelibdir, sitedir, archdir,
rubylibdir, "." ]

Comment 2 Akira TAGOH 2006-04-19 14:35:14 UTC

I'm working on this and just made a testing package. can you guys test it if it
works/is buildable properly for any ruby packages?

Testing packages are available on http://people.redhat.com/tagoh/ruby/.

TIA

I disagree. it will makes incompatible behavior between 32bit and 64bit. even if
we change it for all archs, it's still incompatible between ours and upstream,
and other distros too.

Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2006-04-20 10:04:27 UTC

I've put another testing package on the same place that includes adding the
deprecated path to the search path, providing ruby(abi) etc.

Comment 5 Akira TAGOH 2006-04-21 06:01:52 UTC

If there are any issues on this testing package, I'm planning to push it next
Monday.

Comment 6 Akira TAGOH 2006-05-17 10:52:09 UTC

Fixed in 1.8.4-6
