Description

=begin
I compiled Ruby 1.9.1 from the SVN repository and tried to reproduce the segfault issue #633 on my openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 system. Instead of segfaulting, it did this:

znmeb@DreamScape:~/Packages/ruby/ext/dl/test> ruby test_all.rb
nil

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

After a little poking around with "locate", "ldd" and "grep" I discovered this "case" statement in "test_base.rb":

require 'test/unit'
2 require 'dl'
3
4 case RUBY_PLATFORM
5 when /cygwin/
6 LIBC_SO = "cygwin1.dll"
7 LIBM_SO = "cygwin1.dll"
8 when /linux/
9 LIBC_SO = "/lib/libc.so.6"
10 LIBM_SO = "/lib/libm.so.6"
11 when /mingw/, /mswin32/
12 LIBC_SO = "msvcrt.dll"
13 LIBM_SO = "msvcrt.dll"
14 else
15 LIBC_SO = ARGV[0]
16 LIBM_SO = ARGV[1]
17 if( !(LIBC_SO && LIBM_SO) )
18 $stderr.puts("#{$0} ")
19 exit
20 end
21 end
22

On an openSUSE 11.1 64-bit system, "/lib/libc.so.6" is the 32-bit one, and the 64-bit one is "/lib64/libc.so.6". On my system, "RUBY_PLATFORM" is

znmeb@DreamScape:~/Packages> which ruby
/home/znmeb/test/bin/ruby
znmeb@DreamScape:~/Packages> ruby -e 'puts RUBY_PLATFORM'
x86_64-linux

So I added a branch to the "case":

3
4 case RUBY_PLATFORM
5 when /cygwin/
6 LIBC_SO = "cygwin1.dll"
7 LIBM_SO = "cygwin1.dll"
8 when /x86_64-linux/
9 LIBC_SO = "/lib64/libc.so.6"
10 LIBM_SO = "/lib64/libm.so.6"
11 when /linux/
12 LIBC_SO = "/lib/libc.so.6"
13 LIBM_SO = "/lib/libm.so.6"
14 when /mingw/, /mswin32/
15 LIBC_SO = "msvcrt.dll"
16 LIBM_SO = "msvcrt.dll"
17 else
18 LIBC_SO = ARGV[0]
19 LIBM_SO = ARGV[1]
20 if( !(LIBC_SO && LIBM_SO) )
21 $stderr.puts("#{$0} ")
22 exit
23 end
24 end
25

and the library problem goes away. As far as I know, the "libc.so.6" problem shows up only on openSUSE 11.1, but there should probably be a more portable / robust way of setting that constant. I looked at a few other uses of "RUBY_PLATFORM" in the source tree, and there are quite a few places where it's comparing against "just" /linux/. Some of those may also need to differentiate between 32-bit and 64-bit Linux platforms.

I got similar problems When I ran i386 ruby on ubuntu x86_64.
32-bit libraries are in /lib32 on the platform.

redhat-based x86_64 linux distributions:
/lib - 32-bit libraries
/lib64 - 64-bit libraries

debian-based x86_64 linux distributions:
/lib - 64-bit libraries
/lib32 - 32-bit libraries
/lib64 - symbolic link to /lib

This patch will fix all cases.

Yeah ... that should work. I'll try it as soon as it makes it into the trunk. By the way, Gentoo is like Debian -- /lib is a link to /lib64 (and /usr/lib links to /usr/lib64).
