Installation on debian - libruby.so.1.8.7 not found

[agherschon]

Hi, I'm trying to test your web server, but a really weird problem
occurs.

When I launch the command "webroar install", I got :

Checking for the dependencies ...

I found the asked file in the folder /opt/bin and I even put it in the
PATH variable, nothing helps.

Thank you for your help,
Alexander.

Alexander,

Thank you for trying out WebROaR.

The server needs dynamic ruby library (libruby.so) as a prerequisite. If one installs ruby from source, --enabled-shared flag needs to be passed to its ./configure script to create it.

Can you try building ruby from source again with this flag?

I am not sure the about the libruby.so you found in /opt/bin. I would not like to recommend adding it to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Hello,

I tried by adding the --enable-shared to the ./configure script, and I
saw no particular errors rebuilding ruby from the sources. Whoewer,
nothing changed when I try the command "webroar install".

At the beginning, I installed ruby1.8 with an "apt-get install
ruby1.8".
I'm afraid to remove it by "apt-get remove" because it wants to also
remove rubygems , rdoc, and a lot of ruby librairies...

When I type ruby -v, i got the version I compiled it : ruby 1.8.7
(2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i686-linux]

How should I proceed from this ?

Alexander,

Sorry, i was under the wrong impression that you had originally installed ruby from source. Hence i gave the suggestion of passing --enable-shared flag to ensure shared lib is also installed during the build.

We just improved the logic for detection of shared lib. Could you please pull the latest code from Github repository and try it out? 

You can use these commands:

-----

sudo gem uninstall webroar

git clone git://github.com/webroar/webroar.git

cd webroar

sudo rake install. 

------

Thanks a lot for your efforts.

Hi Aditya,

We were also facing similar issue as Alex during install for webroar
We tried installing from git repository as you have suggested. But
after running rake install, we are getting same error :

Checking for libruby.so.1.8.7........not found.
Unable to find libruby.so.1.8.7 at /opt/ruby/lib.

The following dependencies required for installation could not be

Please refer the user guide for the list of prerequisites.
Sorry, WebROaR could not be installed on this machine.
rake aborted!
Command failed with status (1): [webroar install ...]

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

any suggestion would be helpful

Thanks,
Sunil

Sunil,

Thank you for trying out WebROaR.

The installer is unable to find libruby.so.1.8.7 (Config::CONFIG["LIBRUBY_SO"]) in /opt/ruby/lib (Config::CONFIG["libdir"]).

1. Could you please run the following command in /opt/ruby/lib and let us know the output

ls -lash libruby*

2. Also please let us know the ruby configuration output by the following command:

ruby -e 'Config::CONFIG.each_pair{ |key,value| puts "\"#{key}\" => \"#{value}\"" } if require "mkmf" '
