Current Ruby is ruby-2.0.0.576_1,1, trying to go to ruby23-2.3.1_1,1 . It regularly blows out /tmp (i.e. swap) when compiling ripper.c . FreeBSD is 9.3-RELEASE-p43, trying to get to 10.3 once I'm sure that my entire system (inc. ports) is clean i.e. start from a known base. Box itself is an ancient Asus Evo picked up from a flea market (I think; I know that it came with the virus known as Windoze, but that was quickly repaired). CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80GHz (1794.22-MHz 686-class CPU), Real memory = 537395200 (512 MB) (the other SIMM failed).

Yeah, it's a requirement of something else (I didn't install it by choice). I must see if I can install just binaries, like I can with the Mac. -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer." _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
