Hi all,
For those of you experiencing crashes with RBEL/Aegisco ruby packages
for RHEL, I’ve uploaded a new set of packages that may fix the
segfault:
[http://rbel.frameos.org/ruby-test/el5](http://rbel.frameos.org/ruby-test/el5) (for RHEL5 distributions)
[http://rbel.frameos.org/ruby-test/el6](http://rbel.frameos.org/ruby-test/el6) (for RHEL6 distributions)
Tweaking the build flags seems to fix the issue. YMMV.
More info on the subject:
[http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-2413](http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-2413)
Please, let us know whatever happens to your Chef installs with this packages.
Thanks!

There are similar packages at [testing.aegisco.com](http://testing.aegisco.com). What I'm having trouble
with currently is the rubygems 1.8.5 build for i386. There are 11 failures
when running rake test, and I'm wary to just look past them. Have you had
any luck in building this package? If so, could you share your spec file?
As far as I know, the segfaults occurring were from the i386 ruby 1.8.7
rpm.
Thanks,
James

Also, what build flags did you tweak? I found success by simply compiling a
newer version of ruby 1.8.7.

Hi James,
Didn't try upgrading rubygems.
If so, could you share your spec file?

Not sure, people are reporting segfaults also with x86\_64 packages...
Latest ruby package in RBEL is 1.8.7-p352 matching upstream ruby
version so upgrading to p352 didn't fix the issue.

Removed a bunch of them. Still need to find which one is causing the
issue though. Upgrading ruby to p352 didn't help in my case
unfortunately.
Have a look at the sources here, I just pushed them:

Sergio, and anyone else with segfaults on x86\_64 el5, can you test out the
new packages in:
[testing.aegisco.com](http://testing.aegisco.com)
I'm not able to reproduce the x86\_64 segfaults. Still working on the i386
ones.
Thanks,
James

Sure. I wonder if
[http://testing.aegisco.com/el5/x86\_64/](http://testing.aegisco.com/el5/x86_64/)
is a symlink to
[http://testing.aegisco.com/rhel/5/x86\_64/](http://testing.aegisco.com/rhel/5/x86_64/)
Where should I get the package from?

Sergio,
Yes, that's accurate. That directory structure is used for reasons of
backwards compatibility. Either directory will work.
Thanks,
