[Gems-users] ruby running error in gems-2.1.1 with simics-4.2 on Solaris10/Sparc system

[Qi Zuo <bitsunnyday@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I tried to install gems2.1.1 with simics-4.2 on a sparc workstation.
Followed the instructions given in mail-list, I managed to compile
ruby and load the ruby module. The compiler version is 4.2.1,
downloaded from Oracle. I made several manual modification further.
1. In Makefile.common, add -xcode=pic32 to OPT_FLAGS to avoid compilation error
2. In Makefile.common, comment out getopt related settings
3. In Makefile under ruby/module, change sparcv9 library path to
-R/usr/local/gcc/lib/sparcv9

However, when I tried to type command in the Simics Xterm, for
example, "ls", the simics aborted with some errors, just like Woomin
Hwang met.

failed assertion 'valid_bytes == 4' at fn tuple_int_string_t

At this point you might want to attach a debug to the running and get to the

crash site; otherwise press enter to continue


I don't know whether this problem is due to my manual modification or
some other problems. Would you give me some hints?

Thanks a million!

The error detail is as follows:
