[Quantlib-dev] QuantLib-Ruby-0.3.3 bug report and building assistance.

[Liguo S. <Lig...@va...>]

I am building the RPM package for QuantLib-Ruby-0.3.3. As I know nothing about 
ruby, so I might need someone with more experience with this package to help me out.

First of all, the bug report:
README.txt:
  line 8: ruby setup.py wrap -> ruby setup.rb wrap

Second, does the test suite of QuantLib-Ruby require something like cppunit to 
run? If so, where can I get it?

I encountered the following errors when try to use ruby setup.rb test
*******************************************************************************
	ruby setup.rb test
	Building extension...
	creating Makefile
	make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
	Testing QuantLib-Ruby...
	./QuantLibTestSuite.rb:17:in `require': No such file to load -- 	test/unit 
(LoadError)
		from ./QuantLibTestSuite.rb:17
		from setup.rb:211:in `load'
		from setup.rb:211
		from setup.rb:206:in `call'
		from setup.rb:137:in `execute'
		from setup.rb:268
*******************************************************************************


Third, when building the QuantLib-Ruby package, there are serveral warnings 
about the redefinition of macros. The error messages are like the following:
*******************************************************************************
	In file included from /usr/include/ql/qldefines.hpp:68,
         	         from /usr/include/ql/quantlib.hpp:23,
                 	 from quantlib_wrap.cpp:804:
	/usr/include/ql/config.hpp:98:1: warning: "PACKAGE_BUGREPORT" redefined
	In file included from /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/i386-linux/ruby.h:21,
         	         from quantlib_wrap.cpp:28:
	/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/i386-linux/config.h:6:1: warning: this is the location of the 
previous definition
*******************************************************************************
Other macros with this problem are PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_STRING, 
PACKAGE_TARNAME, and PACKAGE_VERSION.

After some research, I found that these macros are defined in both 
/usr/include/ql/config.hpp and /usr/lib/ruby/1.6/i386-linux/config.h. Would this 
cause any surprise in the future?

Thanks for your help.
