I’ve followed the hivelogic instructions
(Dan Benjamin),
using the latest release versions of software where possible. That
included Ruby 1.8.5 and PCRE 6.7 (and I think that’s it).
I’ve now run into a problem I’ve seen discussed elsewhere - faulty
readline support. Most of the solutions seem to point to this URL for an
answer:
http://www.nabble.com/Ruby-1.8.4-Mac-OS-X-readline-problems-t801880.html
.
I’m working my way through the Agile Web D. and attempting to
run my server (localhost:3000). I’ve run the “make test-all” suggested
in the URL above, but I’m still unable to get anything to run without
the seemingly common error:
“dyld: NSLinkModule() error
dyld: Symbol not found: _rl_filename_completion_function
Referenced from:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-darwin8.8.1/readline.bundle
Expected in: flat namespace”
One difference may be that I’m on a Mac Pro (thus an Intel machine).
Can anyone help? If I’m asking in the wrong place, please point me in
the right direction. Thank you for any help you can provide.
FWIW, I’d rather not use fink or darwinports. I read about the issues
with readline in 1.8.4. That - and the fact that such a problem seemed
to be so widely understood - is what led me to go with the updated
1.8.5.
I’m running make test-all currently. It’s been running for nearly 40
minutes. I have a bunch of, well:
% make test-all
./miniruby ./runruby.rb --extout=.ext – -C “./test” runner.rb
–runner=console
Loaded suite .
Started
…E.E.E.E…
(Periods are appearing once every few minutes after an initial burst of
many periods.)
The readline “problem” on OS X has nothing to do with ruby
1.8.4/1.8.5/whatever. The issue is that there is a partial “readline”
library in /usr/lib (libedit or something…) and that is what your
build is linking to by default (as /usr/lib comes before /usr/local/lib
in the link path). Rrebuilding using the
–with-readline-dir=/usr/local configuration option should fix it
(assuming you have installed the true readline in /usr/local).
-r
I’m fairly confident I’ve solved the problem:
Someone posted here:
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/129980 and
asked someone else if
ruby -rreadline -e ‘1’
gave an error. It did to me, so they said to go into ext/readline in the
ruby source directory and type
ruby extconf.rb
and then the make / sudo make install routine. It worked!
My local:3000 server doesn’t crash and ruby on the command line works.

I don’t believe that to be the case.
First, “/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin” are the first two items in my
$PATH. The Hivelogic procedure makes sure you set your path (about 100
times), so I took care to.
Second, following the hivelogic post above, my ruby configure line
looked like:
/configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-pthread
–with-readline-dir=/usr/local
I’ve tried both readline 5.1 and 5.0 with no success. I ran “make
test-all” and the results are at

.
Thank you for attempting to help. Are there any other suggestions or
ideas? I’d really like to begin learning.

I just followed the steps from
http://www.nabble.com/Ruby-1.8.4-Mac-OS-X-readline-problems-t801880.html
and it works. I think I built readline and ruby in that way at the very
begin. But surprisingly rebuilding readline and ruby did work! I am
running a mac book with intel duo core.

Thank you so much for posting this solution:
After trying numerous suggestions, this was the winner.
Just as an addition, it might be a good idea to do this in the
following sequence from the (ruby source directory)/ext/readline,
especially if you’ve been toiling away for a bit:
#make clean
#sudo ruby extconf.rb
#make
#sudo make install

hey buddy, those instructions are two years old
try these new ones from hive this year
worked great for me
good luck

I was having exactly the same issue, Brand new OSX install on a G5,
10.4.9 with all updates applied. I followed the NEW Hive install guide
to the letter and ended up with this very same error we are all talking
about. I followed the /ext/readline ./ruby extconf.rb directions and it
now all works fine. Very strange ! Locomotive was such a sugar treat !

Brilliant, thank you.
Ive followed the hivelogic article to a T everything I thought was
working until I ran into this error that you are all speaking of. I even
go into irb and it give ths error
dyld: NSLinkModule() error
dyld: Symbol not found: _rl_filename_completion_function

Ive followed the ext/readline instructions
stiill nothing… anyone have any suggestions?

i have always used james duncan davidson’s Sandboxing Rails With
MacPortswithout issue:
http://blog.duncandavidson.com/2006/04/sandboxing_rail.html
he also provides some color on install source vs. macports.
cheers,
