Re: [Gems-users] Help needed in Compiling Ruby

[Dan Gibson <degibson@xxxxxxxx>]

Simics is probably looking for libsimics-common.so. You want to modify 
your linker flags (in ruby/module/Makefile) to look for shared libraries 
in [path-to-libsimics]. Alternatively, you can try copying 
libsimics-common.so to a spot that your linker expects to find shared 
libraries, like /lib or /usr/lib.
If those quick fixed don't work, I'd suggest starting with a new GEMS 
install and retrying the Wiki steps. Sometimes a step is missed along 
the way...

Dan
