Having problems using Portupgrade utilities because of Ruby. It started last Friday and I waited for the weekend just in case the cvs tree will get updated with a possible fix.
Output of error is.. %portversion /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/dl/types.rb:172:in `encode_type': unknown type: const char *. (TypeError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/dl/import.rb:138:in `import' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/dl/import.rb:65:in `extern' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkgmisc.rb:85 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkgdb.rb:5:in `require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkgdb.rb:5 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkg.rb:3:in `require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkg.rb:3 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkgtools.rb:24:in `require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkgtools.rb:24 from /usr/local/sbin/portversion:35:in `require' from /usr/local/sbin/portversion:35 % It happens same for using portupgrade too. I tried to google this and discovered that it is possible a ruby developer problem. The cvs tree was updated just recently and I tried to reinstall just to be sure. I did this by deinstalling both ruby and portupgrade. After I deinstalled ruby, I deleted the directory, /usr/local/lib/ruby. I only installed portupgrade which installed ruby by "cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade/ ; make clean ; make install". I still have this ruby problem above. %pkg_info | grep portupgrade portupgrade-20041226_1 FreeBSD ports/packages administration and management tool s %pkg_info | grep ruby ruby-1.6.8.2004.07.28_1 An object-oriented interpreted scripting language ruby16-bdb1-0.2.2 Ruby interface to Berkeley DB revision 1.8x with full featu ruby16-shim-ruby18-1.8.1.p3 A set of Ruby modules to provide Ruby 1.8 functionalities %uname -a FreeBSD xxxxxxxx.org 4.10-STABLE FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE #0: Fri Sep 17 18:57:24 CDT 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/HAULMARK02 i386 % Any advices on how I can look into resolving this problem? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
