I maintain the package postgresql-plruby which mysteriously fails to build on ia64 (and only there). I would appreciate it if someone with a Debian account could log into one of the provided Debian machines and give it a look. The dependencies are already installed on merulo.
Build logs: http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?&pkg=postgresql-plruby&ver=0.4.2-2&arch=ia64&file=log The issue is that the execution of extconf.rb hangs after the last statement in that file, until the buildd kills it. [EMAIL PROTECTED] confirmed yesterday that the last successfully built version 0.4.2-1 still builds successfully. The only change between 0.4.2-1 and the current version 0.4.2-2 is the removal of the extconf.rb option --disable-conversion. I suppose one could start by commenting out pieces of code in extconf.rb that are within a "if enable_conversion" section, so see what causes it to hang. Since the problem appears in extconf.rb and not in the actual code of the package, it's not impossible that there is a general ruby portability problem hidden here. Thanks.
