[oe-users] ruby 1.8.5 won't build

[James W. Mills]

I am having problems with the ruby package.  It does not seem to want to 
build for me.  Looking at the bb file from the mtn repository, it 
appears that there should be two patches in the ruby/ subdir, but there 
is nothing.

I looked for these patches, thinking they might be housed somewhere 
else, but I could not find them.

So, I commented them out and re-ran.  Now I am getting the following:

I have tried compiling in my native environment, and it works fine.

I am running Ubuntu Edgy with python 2.4.4c1.  I even moved the 
repository out of the way and checked it out again...

Thanks for the help!
