Compiling vim-gnome with ruby support

I followed this blog post to compile gvim with ruby support. However, when I make, I get this error:



/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lruby-static
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
link.sh: Linking failed
make[1]: *** [vim] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ramon/vim/src'
make: *** [first] Error 2


I searched around for people who had this problem, and couldn't find any. This guy just changed computers altogether.



And yes, I have ruby:



$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i686-linux]


What do I do?

          Compiling things which link to something usually requires something-dev package installed. Do you have ruby-dev installed?



          apt-get install ruby-dev


          should do the trick

            According to this, you're set - just install vim-gnome or vim-gtkand you'll have gvim with Ruby support. No need to compile it yourself.

            • Thanks jrg, but like the post I mentioned above talks about, a lot of crashing occurred with the version that 11.04 comes with.

            • @Ramon I've been using gvim since alpha 1 of 11.04, and I've never had any crashes. It might be something in your ~/.vimrc or ~/.vim/* files.

            Update for Ubuntu 18.04... to get Ruby support I had to uninstall vim-gtk3 and vim-gnome. Here's a list of ok-to-install packages. With only these, +ruby shows in vim --version | grep ruby and Command-T works.

                        Update for Ubuntu 18.04... to get Ruby support I had to uninstall vim-gtk3 and vim-gnome. Here's a list of ok-to-install packages. With only these, +ruby shows in vim --version | grep ruby and Command-T works.
