Several days ago when I started my koffice nightmare, I submitted bug report 721 (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=721). For the poppler warning messages I ran across a patch from Francois. I updated the bug report with a link to the patch already in GIT. Today I ran across the likely cause to the ruby messages: the configure scripts do not support ruby 1.9.x (https://gist.github.com/1414497). I started a patch but still receive the warning message. I'm missing something else but don't know what. Here is the patch: ======================================= diff -urN koffice/configure.in koffice.new/configure.in --- koffice/configure.in 2011-08-21 18:30:53.000000000 -0500 +++ koffice.new/configure.in 2011-12-08 12:56:01.215427952 -0600 @@ -1539,14 +1539,20 @@ # Check for Ruby if test "x$compile_kross" = "xyes" ; then - AC_CHECK_PROGS([RUBY], [ruby ruby1.8 ruby18], ruby) + AC_CHECK_PROGS([RUBY], [ruby ruby1.8 ruby18 ruby1.9 ruby19], ruby) if test -n "$RUBY"; then AC_MSG_CHECKING(for Ruby dirs) RUBY_ARCHDIR=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"archdir"@:>@)'` RUBY_SITEARCHDIR=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"sitearchdir"@:>@)'` RUBY_SITEDIR=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"sitelibdir"@:>@)'` - RUBY_INCLUDEDIR=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"rubyincludedir"@:>@)'` + if test -n "$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"rubyhdrdir"@:>@)'"; then + # Ruby 1.9 + RUBY_INCLUDEDIR=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"rubyhdrdir"@:>@)'` + else + # not Ruby 1.9 + RUBY_INCLUDEDIR=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"rubyincludedir"@:>@)'` + fi RUBY_LIBDIR=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"libdir"@:>@)'` RUBY_LIBRUBYARG=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"LIBRUBYARG_SHARED"@:>@)'` RUBY_ENABLESHARED=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"ENABLE_SHARED"@:>@)'` @@ -1602,7 +1608,7 @@ #include <version.h> ],[ -#if(RUBY_VERSION_MAJOR==1 && RUBY_VERSION_MINOR == 8 && RUBY_VERSION_TEENY <= 1) +#if(RUBY_VERSION_MAJOR==1 && RUBY_VERSION_MINOR >= 8 && RUBY_VERSION_TEENY <= 1) #error "need at least ruby 1.8.2\n" #endif diff -urN koffice/lib/kross/configure.in.in koffice.new/lib/kross/configure.in.in --- koffice/lib/kross/configure.in.in 2010-08-11 22:16:27.000000000 -0500 +++ koffice.new/lib/kross/configure.in.in 2011-12-08 12:56:45.787428312 -0600 @@ -21,14 +21,20 @@ # Check for Ruby if test "x$compile_kross" = "xyes" ; then - AC_CHECK_PROGS([RUBY], [ruby ruby1.8 ruby18], ruby) + AC_CHECK_PROGS([RUBY], [ruby ruby1.8 ruby18 ruby1.9 ruby19], ruby) if test -n "$RUBY"; then AC_MSG_CHECKING(for Ruby dirs) RUBY_ARCHDIR=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"archdir"@:>@)'` RUBY_SITEARCHDIR=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"sitearchdir"@:>@)'` RUBY_SITEDIR=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"sitelibdir"@:>@)'` - RUBY_INCLUDEDIR=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"rubyincludedir"@:>@)'` + if test -n "$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"rubyhdrdir"@:>@)'"; then + # Ruby 1.9 + RUBY_INCLUDEDIR=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"rubyhdrdir"@:>@)'` + else + # not Ruby 1.9 + RUBY_INCLUDEDIR=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"rubyincludedir"@:>@)'` + fi RUBY_LIBDIR=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"libdir"@:>@)'` RUBY_LIBRUBYARG=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"LIBRUBYARG_SHARED"@:>@)'` RUBY_ENABLESHARED=`$RUBY -r rbconfig -e 'printf("%s",Config::CONFIG@<:@"ENABLE_SHARED"@:>@)'` @@ -84,7 +90,7 @@ #include <version.h> ],[ -#if(RUBY_VERSION_MAJOR==1 && RUBY_VERSION_MINOR == 8 && RUBY_VERSION_TEENY <= 1) +#if(RUBY_VERSION_MAJOR==1 && RUBY_VERSION_MINOR >= 8 && RUBY_VERSION_TEENY <= 1) #error "need at least ruby 1.8.2\n" #endif ======================================= If we get this resolved the patch will be available to close the bug report. :) Thanks for any help.
