Right now I’m getting “checking for C compiler default output file name… configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables”.

In the error log, it looks like the problem is:
configure:2826: $? = 0
configure:2833: gcc -V >&5
gcc-4.0: argument to `-V’ is missing
configure:2836: $? = 1
configure:2859: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:2886: gcc conftest.c >&5
ld: library not found for -lcrt1.10.5.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:2889: $? = 1

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eli

If a library you require is not compiled yet, the compilation won’t work.

I think there are some restrictions. A simple hello world worked fine. However, a generic tcp server did not.

Would love to see you redo some of your earlier benchmarks using the compiled version of macruby 0.5 and see how it fares.

If/when you have some time, it would be nice to see how the new .5 fairs against the rest in the great ruby shootout.
