I installed the latest readline with macports. It goes in /opt/local. I try to use the -c ‘-with-readline-dir but it still tries to build readline.
This command exacatly:
./installer -c ‘-with-readline-dir=/opt/local’

I can’t get past this readline error:

Any help would be great. I’m on Leapord.

@mike I used

sudo ./installer.rb –auto=/usr/local/ree -c ‘–with-readline-dir=/usr/local’

and life was good. (I’d installed readline from source; -c ‘–with-readline-dir=/sw’ is probably the right thing for fink).

Noted in passing: I tried

-c ‘–program-prefix=ree-’

to specify a program prefix (so that the executables come out as ree-ruby, ree-gem, etc), but it doesn’t work — the installer looks for $PREFIX_DIR/bin/ruby and, not finding it, bails.

Thanks for the swift response to the SIGVTALRM issue. We’ve updated RailsCluster and everything’s running smooth!

@Mike there’s a pure ruby readline if it would be helpful. http://github.com/luislavena/rb-readline/tree/master

Congratulations on another excellent release. Keep up the amazing work.

Earlier today one of my servers was handling around ten requests per second for a few hours due to a spike in traffic. While I know this is nothing compared to Shopify or the New York Times, it is still a level of performance that was utterly impossible for the same machine to handle when I was still using Mongrel and the standard Ruby.

Nginx + Passenger + Ruby Enterprise Edition is a killer combination. Thank you so much for all that you have done to help me and countless others. You guys are incredible.

Any suggestions on what to do?
