Hi,
I just tried to rebuild ruby-1.9.1.378-16.el5.fr191.src.rpm on CentOS 5.5 and get this error:
+ autoconf configure.in:4: error: Autoconf version 2.60 or higher is required configure.in:4: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.92052 (%build)
Note that this is the el5 package.
Can that requirement be relaxed, ie. will it work with autoconf-2.59-12 that is available on RHEL/CentOS 5.5 ?
R.

I don't know if Ruby needs it, but I ran into a similar issue for Python 2.6 in EPEL 5: the configure.in required autoconf 2.61.
To get around this, I set up the python26.spec file to make it easy to regenerate this file on a Fedora box with a more recent autoconf.
grep for "regenerate_autotooling_patch" in here: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/EL-5/python26/python26.spec?revision=1.2...
which also has links to docs on getting the newer autoconf.
Hope this is helpful Dave

David,
Thanks, but... ugh!

Do you really need to build ruby 1.9.1 yourself? We have it available in a repository where we'll be putting different ruby related packages as well.

Jeroen,
I found that list rather over-whelming, ie. there are a *lot* of subdirs in there, not all related to RHEL/CentOS.
Are there any docs explaining what each repo contains, and which ones I should be using ?

Nothing online yet, but I can work on that. For ruby-1.9.1 for el5, you're looking at the feature-el5-ruby-1.9.1 repository, possibly including the feature-el5-ruby-1.9.1-updates variant.
I haven't really been able to set up the complete infrastructure yet (GPG signing, updates management, dist-cvs/dist-git), but I'm working on it.

Why are you trying to run autoconf ? :) ruby-1.9.1-p378.tar.gz from upstream has a configure script that worked just fine for me...
But it'd probably be the easiest to use Jeroen's repo, if the ruby/gems there satisfy your needs.

I'm not explicitly running autoconf, I'm simply rebuilding the SRPM which failed with the above error.
Incidentally, I fixed it by rebuilding & installing autoconf from autoconf-2.63-5.fc12.src.rpm
But it'd probably be the easiest to use Jeroen's repo, if the ruby/gems there satisfy your needs.
I would agree, but I'm not clear which repo(s) I should be using. It would be helpful to have a guide describing the content of each of the repos, a yum config file to drop in /etc/yum.conf.d, or even a -release RPM that sets up the repos (installs yum config, GPG key, etc.)
