do_postgres fails to build on PowerPC
Reported by Paul Cantrell | February 17th, 2008 @ 06:36 PM
"sudo gem install do_postgres" fails on my Powerbook running 10.5.2. The ultimate error, buried in mkmf.log, is:
cc: Invalid arch name : Power
The cause is line 1 of do_postgres's extconf.rb:
ENV["RC_ARCHS"] = `uname -m`.chomp if `uname -sr` =~ /^Darwin/
The solution is:
(1) comment out that line, in which case everything works fine (probably the best solution, since cc's default architecture should work on the current machine!), or
(2) replace with:
ENV["RC_ARCHS"] = `uname -m`.chomp.gsub("Power Macintosh", "ppc") if `uname -sr` =~ /^Darwin/

Closing this since our extconfs are more better. Feel free to reopen if it's still an issue with the latest in git.
