bdb 0.5.0 problem with ruby 1.8

[Nikolai Krot]

Hi

Got a trouble with bdb 0.5.0 (ruby lib for Berkley DB) with ruby 1.8.


Trying to do the following
BDB::Hash.open(path_to_db, nil, BDB::RDONLY, 0644)

I get the messages

warning: defining BDB::Env.allocate is deprecated; use
use_define_alloc_func()

warning: defining BDB::Common.allocate is deprecated; use
rb_define_alloc_func()

How can I get it work?

Many many thanks in advance

Nikolai

???

svg% ruby -vrbdb -e 'BDB::Hash.open("/tmp/aa", nil, BDB::RDONLY, 0644)'
ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [i686-linux]

Do you have HAVE_RB_DEFINE_ALLOC_FUNC in intern.h (source of ruby) ?


svg% grep HAVE_RB_DEFINE_ALLOC_FUNC ~/ruby/ruby-1.8.1/*.h
/home/ts/ruby/ruby-1.8.1/intern.h:#define HAVE_RB_DEFINE_ALLOC_FUNC 1
svg%


This is a version of bdb compiled with ruby 1.8 ?

thank you for your quick reply.

N> BDB::Hash.open(path_to_db, nil, BDB::RDONLY, 0644)

N> I get the messages

N> warning: defining BDB::Env.allocate is deprecated; use

???

svg% ruby -vrbdb -e 'BDB::Hash.open("/tmp/aa", nil, BDB::RDONLY, 0644)'
ruby 1.8.1 (2003-12-25) [i686-linux]
svg%

and this is what i get:

ruby 1.8.0 (2002-12-24) [i686-linux]
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/bdb.so: warning: defining
BDB::Env.allocate is deprecated; use rb_define_alloc_func()
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-linux/bdb.so: warning: defining
BDB::Common.allocate is deprecated; use rb_define_alloc_func()

Again, the same two messages show up.

Do you have HAVE_RB_DEFINE_ALLOC_FUNC in intern.h (source of ruby) ?


svg% grep HAVE_RB_DEFINE_ALLOC_FUNC ~/ruby/ruby-1.8.1/*.h
/home/ts/ruby/ruby-1.8.1/intern.h:#define HAVE_RB_DEFINE_ALLOC_FUNC 1
svg%

no, no such constant. I tried the following in bdb/src/Makefile

CFLAGS = -fPIC -g -O2 -DHAVE_RB_DEFINE_ALLOC_FUNC

and the compilation is ok, require 'bdb' is ok, but

BDB::Hash.open(blah-blah-blah)

is not ok, in particular, those two messages dont appear but the object
that gets created is nil.

This is a version of bdb compiled with ruby 1.8 ?

I guess so, as seen from the following messages produced in the process
of bdb compilation

gcc -fPIC -g -O2 -I. -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux
-I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux -I.
-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.2/include -c common.c

I used to have ruby 1.6 and its traces may still remain in my OS, but i
hope they dont interfere.

See the date for 1.6.8

This is useless, if it's not defined in intern.h this mean that you don't
have the right version for the include

Thank you.

I have been doing rubying for 2 days and dont yet know about ruby
evolution. I took this version from my company's server and never
wondered how it had got there. It carries 1.8.0 in its name and is
actually timestamped 2002-12-24.


I will try out 1.8.1 from the ftp repository you pointed out. Thanks again.

Best regards
