Allbery KF8NH >Release: FreeBSD 4.5-RC i386 >Organization: Carnegie Mellon University ECE Computing Facilities >Environment: System: FreeBSD pyanfar.ece.cmu.edu 4.5-RC FreeBSD 4.5-RC #9: Wed Jan 23 12:16:19 EST 2002 allbery@pyanfar.ece.cmu.edu:/usr/src/sys/compile/PYANFAR i386 >Description: In the ECE environment, /usr/local on all machines holds software packages built by Facilities and is maintained by syncset or depot; therefore, FreeBSD packages and ports must install to a different hierarchy (currently /usr/mach). If ruby is built with LOCALBASE != /usr/local, it installs its own library files under $LOCALBASE/lib/ruby, but it sets $LOAD_PATH to /usr/local/lib/ruby without regard to the value of $LOCALBASE. As a result, it can't find its library files when run. >How-To-Repeat: cd /usr/ports/lang/ruby make LOCALBASE=/usr/mach install Run /usr/mach/bin/ruby on any Ruby script which does a "require", and watch it spit out a "can't find file" error. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
