I had put debug prints in the code and the reopen of stdout messed that up. In reality it tries the gcc command below. I did not have gcc installed, I then installed that. When I try the gcc command line from the log I get the error below, except I don't know what directory ruby issues that from:
gcc -E -I. -I/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-linux -I. -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 - I/usr/include -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions - fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i686 - mtune=atom -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIC conftest.c -o conftest.i gcc: conftest.c: No such file or directory -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
