Not an issue; works on centos 5.7 x86_64

[petemounce]

Hi

I'd email/message, but github says you haven't provided an email address.

I've successfully built a ruby 1.9.3-p0 rpm on CentOS 5.7 x86_64 by following your steps; thanks!

Now to see whether that installs to my Amazon EC2 AMI and works well.

Regards Pete

The RPM I built does not install on my Amazon AMI (created from EU-West-1's https://aws.amazon.com/amis/4158 I think):

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I'm now going to follow the AMI instructions, but I'd hoped to avoid that because I didn't want to put development tools on a production instance.

(I should mention that I'm very much unfamiliar with 'nix sysadmin so far, being primarily a .NET developer. I'm going to RTFM; I'm just documenting my progress really)

I was able to successfully follow the AMI instructions.

I was also able to follow them successfully with the recent 1.9.3-p125 release just by changing the %define rubyminorver p125 line at the top of the RPM spec.
