RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Joe Orton 2011-02-03 10:46:37 UTC 
Description:
# yum install ruby ruby-devel
...
Installed:
  ruby.x86_64 0:1.8.7.299-5.el6_0.1   ruby-devel.x86_64 0:1.8.7.299-5.el6_0.1  

Dependency Installed:
  ruby-libs.x86_64 0:1.8.7.299-5.el6_0.1                                        
# ruby -r mkmf -e 'exit(have_func("rb_hash_foreach") ? 0 : 1)'
checking for rb_hash_foreach()... yes
# yum install ruby-libs.i686
...
Installed:
  ruby-libs.i686 0:1.8.7.299-5.el6_0.1                                          
# ruby -r mkmf -e 'exit(have_func("rb_hash_foreach") ? 0 : 1)'
mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /usr/lib/ruby/ruby.h

The subversion build relies on this, and it is breaking if
the 32-bit ruby-libs is installed on a 64-bit machine.  s390/s390x
is showing the same issue.
Comment 2 Vít Ondruch 2011-02-03 11:44:59 UTC 
Tank you for your report. The ruby-lib.e686 are not in best condition. This reminds me bug #624029.

However, could you please enlighten me why do you need ruby-libs.i686 on you machine at all?
Comment 3 Juraj Marko 2011-02-03 11:50:31 UTC 
It is a build dependency on subversion errata
Comment 4 Vít Ondruch 2011-02-04 08:50:30 UTC 
Looks that this problem appears when somebody tries to build 32b and 64b versions of subversion in one buildroot. So the workaround is to build them independently.
Comment 5 Marcela Mašláňová 2011-02-04 09:54:53 UTC 
This will be postponed into next minor release, because the solution was not tested yet.

libdir fix

It seems to be a problem in wrong libdir path. The attached patch solved the problem for me.

Comment on attachment 477001 [details]
libdir fix

The proposed patch installs noarch files twice in multilib - this is not optimal. Probably better to use the patch from bug 624029, comment 7 which also worked for me.
Comment 11 David Robinson 2011-05-30 06:32:45 UTC 
collectd builds require this too.

$ ruby -e 'require "mkmf"'
mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /usr/lib/ruby/ruby.h
