Re: [Gems-users] Error Loading Ruby Module

[Dan Gibson <degibson@xxxxxxxx>]

Great job diagnosing the first error. I'll probably add that to the FAQ sometime soon.

Your new error is caused by not reading a configuration before loading Ruby. At load-time, Ruby searches for a physical memory object to attach itself to-- there is no physical memory object before a checkpoint is loaded.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your advice. It worked for gcc-4.0.3. Here's the deal. For every makefile, I had to change the LDFLAGS and MODULE_LDFLAGS variables to point to the non-native lib folder. Moreover, the SHELL variable in the common/Makefile.common was set to /bin/sh whereas I was using /bin/bash. At the end, I checked ruby.so, first using ldd and then objdump -T. All the proper files were linked and ruby.so had just one entry for ruby_session_set whereas previosuly it had two entries.

When I first start simics from the MOSI_SMP_bcast directory, and do a "load-module ruby" it gives me the error as:

/***************************************************************************\

Although, the gems-1.3.1 ruby.C file has that patch, still it is throwing this error for the first time. The second time it loads ruby.

Now if I try to run the command "ruby0.setparam g_NUM_PROCESSOR 1" in simics, it is giving me an error message as:

"attribute param in object ruby0: not found"

In fact, although it shows all the attributes of ruby0 when I press TAB, but it cannot find any of them and throws the above error message for all of them.

Thanks and regards,
Kushal.
