BUG: Ruby incompatibility /w non-MP openssl

[purestorm@…]

Hi.

I have just upgraded some packages (postgres, ruby, rb-postgres, openssl) and it seems that while they compile pretty smooth, there is a "dynamic linking" problem:

manuel@localhost 23:25:55 demo $> ruby script/server 
dyld: NSLinkModule() error
dyld: Symbol not found: _ENGINE_load_aep
  Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.2.0/openssl.bundle
  Expected in: flat namespace

Trace/BPT trap

I am not the only one experiencing this problem, seemingly, for I read in IRC (#darwinports on freenode) today:

[21:49] 	[NICKNAME]	having an issue with darwinports compiled version of ruby not executing...
[21:50] 	[NICKNAME]	dyld: NSLinkModule() error

looks like ruby has some problems with openssl 0.9.8. issue #2 here looks to be highly relevant: ​http://www.mail-archive.com/openssl-dev@openssl.org/msg15904.html

but see also: ​http://www.ruby-talk.org/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/5399

This patch is already in the distribution, as far as I can see.

However, I can imagine, that the problem has to be fixed on the ruby side of things.

[purestorm@…]

Adding a patch to the Portfile of ruby.

[purestorm@…]

A crude hack to ruby that is a workaround to this bug.

[mww@…]

ok, I've just submitted the patch for ossl_engine.c - leaving this one open for now since this is a crude workaround and shouldn't be needed - in a perfect world(TM)

[jberry@…]

Changing to status fixed.

[openmacnews@…]

it's unclear to me whether this was purportedly 'fixed' in trunk, or in release (1.8.5?) ... still requires a workaround, as well as a fix to openssl links not being picked up.

as of 23 Sep 06,

building, ruby 1.8.5 "out-of-the-box" on osx 10.4.7 w/ external instance of openssl 0.9.8c,

though 'make' is successful, 'make install' dies (still?) @:

...
install -c -p -m 0644 ruby.1 /usr/local/man/man1/ruby.1
./miniruby ./ext/extmk.rb --dest-dir="" --make="make" --mflags="" --make-flags="" --extout=".ext" --extension  --extstatic  -- install
cp -r ./.ext/. /usr/local/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8

dyld: Symbol not found: _ENGINE_load_aep
  Referenced from: /usr/ports/ruby-1.8.5/.ext/powerpc-darwin8.7.0/openssl.bundle
  Expected in: flat namespace


per earlier post, noting in:

	/usr/ports/ruby-1.8.5/ext/openssl/ossl_engine.c

the current check (@ ~ line#64) for:

	#ifndef OPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE

and, hence, adding to CPPFLAGS:

	-DOPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE

and, after 'make', despite:

	setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib -lreadline -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto"
	setenv CPPGLAGS "-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include -DOPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE"

this is still required to pick up external openssl:

	/usr/ports/ruby-1.8.5/ext/openssl/Makefile
	==========================================
	@82
	---	LIBS = $(LIBRUBYARG_SHARED) -lssl -lcrypto  -lpthread -ldl -lcrypt -lobjc
	+++	LIBS = $(LIBRUBYARG_SHARED) -lpthread -ldl -lcrypt -lobjc -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
	==========================================

then, a subsequent:

	% cd /usr/ports/ruby-1.8.5/ext/openssl
	% make clean
	% make
	% cd /usr/ports/ruby-1.8.5
	% rm -rf /usr/local/ruby
	% make install

finishes successfully:

all, now, looks OK.

[openmacnews@…]

as of 19 Jan 07, and ruby 1.8.5-p12, this is still an issue.

despite the LDFLAGS addition, it's still req'd to modify "ruby-1.8.5-p12/ext/openssl/Makefile", as above.

can this be checked/fixed?

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Assigning to maintainer for resolution.

[kimuraw (kimura wataru)]

I cannot reproduce the problem with current MacPorts ruby 1.8.7-p72_2.

• ruby and libruby not linking openssl
• extention module openssl.bundle linking ${prefix}/lib/libssl,libcrypt

Closing, looks good here as well, no response otherwise.
