ZeroMQ autogen failed

[wokibe]

On my Mac 10.9.5 (Mavericks) the rbczmq installation failed:

iMac:~ kittekat$ gem install rbczmq Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing rbczmq: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /Users/kittekat/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.3/bin/ruby extconf.rb "./autogen.sh" autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal -I config --force -I config autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing autoreconf: configure.ac: subdirectory foreign/openpgm/build-staging/openpgm/pgm/ not present autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool autoreconf: running: /usr/local/Cellar/autoconf/2.69/bin/autoconf --include=config --force configure.ac:57: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL

Could not find the cause for the trouble. I am confused about the mentioned ...WIN32_DLL. This is a Mac!

Here are the versions of the required tools:

iMac:~ kittekat$ libtool -V Apple Inc. version cctools-862 iMac:~ kittekat$ autoconf -V autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69 ... -iMac:~ kittekat$ automake --version automake (GNU automake) 1.14.1

Anyway, I found for me a workaround: I installed zeromq (4.0.4) and czmq (2.0.2) with homebrew and rbczmq (1.7.8) as "slim" gem: brew install zeromq brew install czmq gem install rbczmq -- --wirh-system-libs

@wokibe thanks for the brilliant context - I'll take a look and fix the bundled libs shortly.

Same deal here

Couldn't get it to work with --with-system-libs either :disappointed:

Derp. Installing autogen (brew install autogen) fixed it :tada:

Just wanted to let you know I had the same problem as @wokibe. Even though I'm on Yosemite, @wokibe 's solution worked very well. I can now run iRuby notebooks fine. Thanks! 👍
