%general-entities; ]> Ruby The Ruby package contains the Ruby development environment. This is useful for object-oriented scripting. &lfs121_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &ruby-md5sum; Download size: &ruby-size; Estimated disk space required: &ruby-buildsize; Estimated build time: &ruby-time; Ruby Dependencies Required Optional , , , , , &berkeley-db; and DTrace Install Ruby by running the following command: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --disable-rpath \ --enable-shared \ --without-valgrind \ --without-baseruby \ ac_cv_func_qsort_r=no \ --docdir=/usr/share/doc/ruby-&ruby-version; && make Optionally, build the CAPI documents by running the following commands: make capi To test the results, issue: make -j1 -k check. Note that running the test suite with parallel jobs may cause test failures outputted as cryptic unknown object messages, resulting a summary falsely claiming all tests passed. If the environment has variables related to proxy settings (all_proxy, ALL_PROXY, http_proxy, and etc.) set, the test suite will bail out early with messages like net/ftp is not found. Make sure that you unset these variables for the test suite. There are over 26,000 tests. 12 tests are known to fail because of expired certificates in the test data. Three tests named TestNetHTTPS#test_session_reuse_but_expire, OpenSSL::TestASN1#test_utctime, and OpenSSL::TestASN1#test_generalizedtime are known to fail with OpenSSL-3.3.0 or later. Some tests related to ipv6 may indicate errors. If the tests are run in a directory that has a world writable component (e.g. /tmp) then several additional tests may fail. Now, as the root user: make install If you have Ruby-On-Rails applications installed and did an upgrade of Ruby by installing this package, you might need to run an update there, too (as the &root; user): cd /path/to/web/app bundle update rake and restart the webserver which serves the application. --disable-rpath: This switch disables embedding /usr/lib as a library search path into the ruby program. Doing so is not needed (because /usr/lib is a system library path) and it may cause the test suite running with the system libruby.so instead of the just built one when Ruby has been installed. --enable-shared: This switch enables building the libruby shared library. --without-baseruby: This switch prevents using the system ruby if it is already installed. The build system will use the newly built version instead. ac_cv_func_qsort_r=no: This switch prevents using the qsort_r function from Glibc. Ruby makes some aggressive optimization assuming some implementation details of the sorting algorithm, but the assumption is not true with the Glibc implementation. With this switch Ruby will use its own sort implementation instead. --disable-install-doc: This switch disables building and installing rdoc indexes and C API documents. --disable-install-rdoc: This switch disables building and installing rdoc indexes. --disable-install-capi: This switch disables building and installing C API documents.

This is similar to Python's 'pip' command gem irb is the interactive interface for Ruby irb rake is a make-like build utility for Ruby rake rdbg is an interactive debugger for Ruby rdbg rdoc generates Ruby documentation rdoc ri displays documentation from a database on Ruby classes, modules, and methods ri ruby is an interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming ruby libruby.so contains the API functions required by Ruby libruby.so
