Description Joe Orton 2011-02-03 05:46:37 EST

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 06:44:59 EST

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 06:50:31 EST

It is a build dependency on subversion errata

Comment 4 Vít Ondruch 2011-02-04 03:50:30 EST

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 04:54:53 EST

This will be postponed into next minor release, because the solution was not tested yet.

Comment 6 Jaroslav Škarvada 2011-02-04 08:09:52 EST

Created attachment 477001 [details]
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 02:32:45 EDT

collectd builds require this too.

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