Rebuild ruby readline due to Leopard Software update

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 13:53:00 +0200

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.

“The iPhone is a great platform. The iPhone 3G remains the phone in my pocket because of the browser and now the applications. SMS is excellent. But the phone functionality, well, to misquote Mr. Jobs out of context “[should] not have been delayed without consequence”. Can the modem functionality, the bad 3G, the battery life be fixed in software. I hope so.”
