hpricot installation error

[Thyresias]

Hi,
I just installed ruby-1.8.7-p249 using the installer, and then the
devkit.
I updated rubygems to 1.3.6, then tried to install hpricot. I got
this:

C:\>gem install hpricot --no-ri

Any idea about what the problem is?

Looks like what fast_xs is doing during compilation is making GCC
segfault and crash.

Going to test and confirm that later today.

Just a quick question, what OS version (Xp, Vista, 7) and type (32/64) you have?

Thanks for following up, Luis. ^_^

By the way, no luck with mongo_ext, either:

By chance do you have DEP enabled?

> By chance do you have DEP enabled?

It's set to "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services
only". Should I set it to "AlwaysOff"?
-- Thierry

[Luis Lavena]

No, that is good. DEP sometimes interferes with compilers, which seems
is what is happening now.

The weird thing is that is happening with all the extensions.

Let me take a look later when I'm at home and provide you a simple
example for you to try out.
(don't want to think you're my guinea pig, but any testing from your
end will be helpful for you and others)

Thank you.

No problem, but I may not be able to test before tomorrow (it's 20:00
here ;)
Thanks again
-- Thierry

[Luis Lavena]

Ok, no problem.

Please proceed with the following:

1) Download the contents of the following gist:

http://gist.github.com/322066

2) Extract and put these two files (extconf.rb and my_extension.c)
into a new folder

3) Open a Ruby 1.8.7 command prompt (in case you haven't added ruby to
your PATH)

4) cd into that directory and execute:

4.1) ruby extconf.rb

You should see:

creating Makefile

4.2) Now trigger the compile process:

make

You should see:

gcc -I. -I/C/Users/Luis/Tools/Ruby/ruby-1.8.7-p249-i386-mingw32/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mingw32
-I/C/Users/Luis/Tools/Ruby/ruby-1.8.7-p249-i386-mingw32/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-mingw32
-I. -g -O2 -c my_extension.c
gcc -shared -s -o my_extension.so my_extension.o -L.
-LC:/Users/Luis/Tools/Ruby/ruby-1.8.7-p249-i386-mingw32/lib -L.
-Wl,--enable-auto-image-base,--enable-auto-import,--export-all
-lmsvcrt-ruby18 -lshell32 -lws2_32

5) Test it worked:

ruby -I. -rmy_extension -e "puts Done."

Please let me know if the result of step 4.2, and what is the complete output.

Also include the following information:

PATH (set PATH)
gcc --version
gcc -print-search-dirs
make --version

Very very weird.

This crash:

/* hello.c */

int main()
{
printf("Hello\n");
return 0;
}

And compile with this:

gcc hello.c -o hello.exe

If that is too, we can exclude that is Ruby or the extension the issue.

Thierry, 

gcc example works for me, but can't compile any gem, gcc always crash, I post something like this a fwe weeks ago:

http://groups.google.com/group/rubyinstaller/browse_thread/thread/b56521e55fd2b760

My fix: Install virtual box, install ubuntu :'(

The weird part is that it crashes on your installation, while I have
tested both 32 and 64bits versions of Windows 7 without issues

That lead me think there is something wrong in your setup. I'm not
saying that you installed Ruby or the tools in a wrong way, but there
is something differently that is affecting GCC.

Does the simple C code compile successfully or also crash? That will help a lot.

That doesn't help solve the problem, that just eludes it.
