Install Ruby on Nexenta (GnuSolaris) 1.01

If you want to build your own small ruby script for administrating you Nexenta-Box, you normally just have to do a:

root@sunny:~# apt-get install ruby

Unfortunetally this Package seems to be broken:

root@sunny:~# ruby -v
ld.so.1: ruby1.8: fatal: libruby1.8.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory

The needed lib libruby1.8.so.1 is not on its desired place.
So you need to compile yourself a version of ruby:

root@sunny:~# apt-get remove ruby
root@sunny:~# apt-get autoremove
root@sunny:~# apt-get install build-essential

root@sunny:~# cd /tmp
root@sunny:~# wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.6-p110.tar.gz

root@sunny:~# tar xvfz ruby-1.8.6-p110.tar.gz
root@sunny:~# cd ruby-1.8.6-p110

root@sunny:~# ./configure
root@sunny:~# make
root@sunny:~# make test-all
root@sunny:~# make install
root@sunny:~# make install-doc

/usr/local/bin should be in your path!

root@sunny:~# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11

root@sunny:~# make install-doc

root@sunny:~# which ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby
root@sunny:~# ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-23 patchlevel 110) [i386-solaris2.11]

DONE!
