Hi, thank you for the feedback, and I'm sorry this has caused you some debugging time. The ruby-build project abstracts away many of the complexities of downloading and building a Ruby version, but it stops short of checking build dependencies on purpose. The recommended setup is only outlined in our wiki as a guide, but we're reluctant of programmatically managing these dependencies because the list of Unix-like systems and all the possible variations of operating system versions, different package managers, and different expectations people have for setting up software on their system would be too much of responsibility for our project to handle. Therefore, as it always is with compiling software from source code, you will actually have to handle the dependencies setup yourself. I wish there a simple, unified interface for checking for and installing software libraries, and until there is one, ruby-build will leave that as an exercise to the user. |
