all. I downloaded the ruby source from the offical site http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.2-p290.tar.gz. But I got some compiling errors when I did as the README told me:

tar -xzf ruby-1.9.2-p290.tar.gz
cd ruby-1.9.2-p290
./configure
make

It produced:

make -f enc.mk RUBY="./miniruby -I./lib -I.ext/common -I./- -r./ext/purelib.rb "       MINIRUBY="./miniruby -I./lib -I.ext/common -I./- -r./ext/purelib.rb "  enc

There're a lot of

following.

Can someone tell me what I missed? Thanks in advance!

  • I've resolved the problem! That's because my 'head' command is missing! The configure command depends it. Thus my previous configure commands produced incorrect Makefile because head was missing. By the way, I don't remember when I deleted that command, and I'm afraid I've never done that. I'm using Godaddy's VPS.

  • There's an answer that suggests this as the fix...you might want to accept it as the solution. Mar 23, 2014 at 14:31

Your system is missing the head command, which is part of the coreutils package. This particular package contains a variety of very commonly used command line tools. You can try reinstalling it with:

yum reinstall coreutils

Though, I see you mentioned being on a VPS from GoDaddy. Unfortunately they give you a "CentOS" which GoDaddy themselves have modified in various ways and may not be built correctly. I suggest moving away from there, if you haven't already done so.

Looks like there's a typo in the makefile somewhere. In one (or more) of the gcc strings, instead of the -o flag (specifying the outfile), it just has o.

  • But the makefile is auto produced by configure, and I have never edited it.
