[Gems-users] gems installation on linux-x86

[Rishi Jain <rjain@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi,
i am trying to install gems 1.2 and simics 2.2 on a linux-x86 machine
(after giving up on a solaris machine)


the compilation fails while linking, with the following message:
cd ../simics/x86-linux/lib; make ruby
make[1]: Entering directory
`/afs/ir.stanford.edu/users/r/j/rjain/ee382a_linux/GEMS/simics-2.2.19/x86-linux/lib'
=== Building module "ruby" using the 2.0 API ===
Linking ruby.so
/afs/ir/users/r/j/rjain/ee382a_linux/GEMS/simics/x86-linux/bin/simics-common:

[/afs/ir.stanford.edu/users/r/j/rjain/ee382a_linux/GEMS/simics-2.2.19/x86-linux/lib/ruby.so]
Error 127


I have libbz2.a in /usr/pubsw/lib/ directory, but no libbz2.so.1

any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

thanks
