Disregard my fastthrread.so and git/patch incompetence.

I managed to patch the fastthread.c file so that it would not complain about the undefined symbol under ruby 1.8.6 and was able to build the .so cleanly, pass "rake test" and install it in all the proper places.

Hi folks,

I've had sort of an epic journey trying to go from 5.1.1 to 5.2 over the last 2 days ...

In order to even get typo back up I had to (this is the short story ...)

1. Follow Rick's advice to get datanoise-actionwebservice from gems.github.com

2. Hand edit the contents of the tags table in the production database to change any tag that had a "." char in it just so I could get past migration #71 (071_fix_tags_naming.rb). The migration that was supposed to do this simply did not work for some reason until I manually made sure there were no tags with "." chars in the database. 50+ edits to SQL table values.

3. Reorder the migrations because it seemed that migrations prior to 081_create_cache_informations.rb actually depend on the presence of the cache_informations table and bomb out with fatal migration errors when the table is not present. Without the reorder I could not get past migration 078 on the production database

After jumping through all those hoops I seem to have a working install but I'm getting nailed up by a fastthread issue that I'm hoping someone can help me out with.

Using both mongrel and webrick I can reliably crash typo 5.2 with this error:

ruby: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ fastthread-1.0.5/lib/fastthread.so: undefined symbol: rb_thread_alive_p

In this case google is my friend and it seems that there is a git fix for this problem:

http://github.com/mental/fastthread/commits/fastthread-1.0.5

-and-

http://github.com/mental/fastthread/commit/75995d6a097e5b55dc53c39858aea051ce74556e

My main issue is not typo related at this point :) I just don't know enough about git and/or how it is used with gems and ruby to actually implement the patch/fix/hotfix whatever that is referenced in the above URL

Has anyone else run into the "undefined symbol: rb_thread_alive_p" - any tips on rebuilding fastthread-1.0.5 with the fix that resolves the "undefined symbol: rb_thread_alive_p" problem?

Regards,
Chris
