New operating system, same history: rebuilding Snow Leopard ruby readline to allow non ascii chars on irb:
curl -O ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/readline-6.1.tar.gz
tar xzvf readline-6.1.tar.gz
cd readline-6.1
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
cd ..
ruby --version
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [universal-darwin10.0]
svn co http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/tags/v1_8_7_72/ext/readline/ ruby-readline
cd ruby-readline/
curl http://pastie.textmate.org/pastes/836839/download | patch extconf.rb
ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" ruby extconf.rb
make
sudo make install
$ irb
>> "Coño con las actualizaciones"
=> "Co\303\261o con las actualizaciones"
Due to the recent Leopard ruby update, accents and other non ascii characters are never more available for irb. This is how to proceed to fix that:
$ locate libreadline
/usr/lib/libreadline.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.5.2.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.5.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.a
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.dylib
$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [universal-darwin9.0]
svn co http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/tags/v1_8_6_287/ext/readline/ readline
curl http://pastie.textmate.org/pastes/168767/download | patch readline/extconf.rb
cd readline
ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" ruby extconf.rb
make
sudo make install
I know I will forget this for the next time I might need it …
ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install do_mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
sudo install_name_tool -change /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.15.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.15.dylib /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/do_mysql-0.9.11/lib/do_mysql_ext.bundle
Use the proper gem version, of course.
