compiler error while installing rubygem 'mysql2' in Ruby 1.9.2 over CentOS 64-bit

问题

a CentOS 64-bit Server with Ruby 1.8.7 & 1.9.2

{{no RVM, need it without RVM... currently all Ruby1.9.2 binaries are ruby19 and similarly accessible, so no mapping of gem-path or anything of that sort is there}}

is giving error while installing gem 'mysql2' ...

I have all dependencies installed and all are 64-bit versions ...

All error are of kind {./client.h:13: error: redefinition of typedef ‘rb_unblock_function_t’}

Could {#warning rubysig.h is obsolete} be a reason for this?

Console Capture:

#gem19 install mysql2 -v 0.2.7 -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/bin --with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/mysql_config --with-mysql-include=/usr/include/mysql

回答1:

This is caused by a patch they introduced on the gem in order for it to run in Ruby 1.8 but it is not needed on Ruby 1.9.

To deactivated this "fix" and be able to install the gem you can define a flag for the compiler:

gem install mysql2 -- --with-cflags=\"-DHAVE_RB_THREAD_BLOCKING_REGION\"

回答2:

The problem is in the extconf/mkmf section:

rb_thread_blocking_region()... no

But Ruby 1.9.2 defines rb_thread_blocking_region (unless you built Ruby with some funky set of ifdef's and edits I'm not aware of).

Check your mkmf.log file. It should show you that Ruby failed to compile/link the conftest.c file that tests for rb_thread_blocking_region. The reason why is that libcrypt.a has a dependency on libfreebl3, but the library isn't getting referenced on the link line.

I fixed the problem by editing /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/i686-linux/rbconfig.rb like so:

-  CONFIG["LIBS"] = "-lpthread -lrt -ldl -lcrypt -lm "
+  CONFIG["LIBS"] = "-lpthread -lrt -ldl -lcrypt -lfreebl3 -lm "

I was able to build the mysql2 gem after. No need to install rvm, etc.

回答3:

What I did to fix it was to re-install Ruby via RVM. There no more errors after that.

Alternatively, remove the block in client.h that is trying to emulate rb_thread_blocking_region for Ruby 1.8 and you'll be good to go.
