Comment(by eloy.de.en...@…):
Oh hey, thanks for pointing me to it again. There's nothing wrong with
that article I failed at properly looking at the article. I think the
layout instantly reminded me of an article which suggested installing ruby
into /usr which a lot of people did and consequently broke their
installations.
Mea culpa.
So the problem of this ticket is an architecture problem. Normally when
you just use "./configure --prefix=/usr/local" then the resulting binaries
will only be for the current architecture it's running on. In this case
i386. MacRuby however, is configure to be compiled for more architectures
than just i386. This is for compatibility of your app on different
machines and thus necessary. However, you cannot build something (MacRuby)
for architectures which it's dependencies do not contain.
To sum up; your dependencies need to at least include support for the
architectures that the product is being build for.
In this case readline was compiled without support for other archs than
the current one, which is ok normally, but MacRuby can't be build for more
than just i386 and so it fails.
Solutions are build MacRuby for the current arch, or make sure MacRuby
uses libs in /usr instead of /usr/local when compiling. I wouldn't go with
the former, it will bite you later on when deploying.
I hope this explains it a bit more. And I'll add this as a comment to the
ticket so others won't be confused due to my error.
Cheers,
Eloy
