I modified ruby-1.8.0-r1 and ruby-1.8.1_pre2 to pass RUBY_GC_MALLOC_LIMIT as GC_MALLOC_LIMIT. You can write "RUBY_GC_MALLOC_LIMIT=32000000" to /etc/make.conf or set RUBY_GC_MALLOC_LIMIT environment variable to 32000000 and emerge ruby again.

Sounds nice. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll write one shortly. Just FYI, currently ruby ebuilds use alternatives.eclass to choose default version (so there is no handy way to change default version after merge). > 2.

Sorry, this is rathar a bug. I forgot to add ruby18 USE flag to ruby-1.8 ebuilds and it shouldn't set ruby-1.8 default if ruby-1.6 is installed. I added ruby18 USE flag to them, so if you want ruby-1.8 as default ruby, please set ruby18 USE flag (this will be changed after ruby-1.8 become stable). -- Mamoru KOMACHI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.gentoo.org/~usata/ -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
