Ruby-LSAPI and Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE.79)

[aclement]

Hi everybody,

I am trying to install the Ruby-LSAPI gem on a Solaris Express Community Edition box (actually, an Amazon EC2 instance), and I can't figure out how to succeed in.

First, I tried to install the gem:

gem install ruby-lsapi

and the following error occured:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing ruby-lsapi:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/ruby/1.8/bin/ruby extconf.rb install ruby-lsapi
checking for main() in -lsocket... no
creating Makefile

make
/opt/SUNWspro.40/SS11/bin/cc -I. -I. -I/usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-solaris2.11 -I. -DTEXT_DOMAIN=""  -I/builds2/sfwnv-gate/proto/root_i386/usr/sfw/include  -I/builds2/sfwnv-gate/proto/root_i386/usr/include    -I/builds2/sfwnv-gate/proto/root_i386//readline-5.2/include -KPIC -xO3 -xbuiltin=%all -xinline=auto -xprefetch=auto -xdepend  -KPIC -c lsapilib.c
sh: /opt/SUNWspro.40/SS11/bin/cc: not found
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `lsapilib.o'


Gem files will remain installed in /usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-lsapi-3.2 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-lsapi-3.2/ext/lsapi/gem_make.out

Then I went to /usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-lsapi-3.2/ext/lsapi and modified the Makefile as follows:
* right path for CC
* right libs and includes
* added -lsocket and -lnsl options

... and the lsapi.so file compiled!

Unfortunately, the LS web server log shows the following lines:

If I try a "require 'lsapi'" at the Ruby "console" (irb), I get the following:

To make a long story short: is there someone who knows how to install Ruby-LSAPI under Solaris Express Community Edition?

Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,

Try install ruby, RoR and gem from source code.
If you are using 64bit solaris, make sure do

export CC=gcc -m64

to compile everything to 64bit binary.

Thank you very much for your advice Mistwang. I'll give it a try ASAP and keep you informed.
