Compiling ruby1.9.1 hangs and fills swap!
- by nfm
I'm compiling Ruby 1.9.1-p376 under Ubuntu 8.04 server LTS (64-bit), by doing the following:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
./configure works without complaints.
make hangs indefinitely until all my RAM and swap is gone. It get stuck after the following output:
compiling ripper
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/ruby1.9.1/ruby-1.9.1-p376/ext/ripper'

If I run the gcc command by hand, with the -v argument to get verbose output, it hangs after the following:

I just compiled ruby on another computer for reference, and it took about 10 seconds to print the following output (after the above Compiler executable checksum line):

I have absolutely no clue what could be going wrong here - any ideas where I should start?
