A fix has been commited to the upstream repository recently: http://redmine.ruby- lang.org/repositories/diff/ruby-18/configure.in?rev=28404 This shouldn't require any changes to the ./configure options, just a rebuild of the package. It would be great if the fix could be added to the Debian/Ubunt

Your right, that last quip was uncalled for. I do want a good solution, however, it seems the ruby & debian community are often at odds. I somewhat understand why it is so difficult to reconcile. Ruby uses rubygems, which work great btw. Ruby has lots of different types of packages and versions.

Basically REE is Ruby 1.8.7 but MUCH faster. It doesn't do pthreads, supports copy-on-write when forking, optimizes threading, etc. It also "takes over" ruby, which IMO is a plus. The other nice thing is it does not need to be officially maintained by debian, so politics won't factor in here. It w
