From: Kurt Usen on 2 Jul 2008 11:06 Hello, I am having a problem building Ruby from sources (checked out latest version with Subversion from repository). I tried it for Ubunty 8.04 and Cygwin. In both cases I got an error while running make: echo executable host ruby is required. use --with-baseruby option.; false -Ks ./tool/insns2vm.rb --srcdir="." opt_sc.inc executable host ruby is required. use --with-baseruby option. make: *** [opt_sc.inc] Error 1 What does it mean? Thank you, Kurt -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

You don't have ruby installed, or it is not in your path. If it is not in your path, use ./configure --with-baseruby (I think). If it is not installed, try 1.8 before building 1.9.

I tried to install 1.8 (and tested that it is working) before build (although it seemed to me strange enough not to be able to build Ruby from scratch) and configure --with-baseruby with approximately the same result... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. |
