Gem refers to wrong bz2 library on Ubuntu Linux
Reported by jbwiv | November 30th, 2009 @ 02:40 PM
On Ubuntu Karmic Koala (9.10), when trying to install the gem,
you get:
############################################### Building native
extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing amp:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb checking for BZ2_bzWriteOpen() in
-lbz2... no
extconf.rb failed Could not create
Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for
more
details. You may need configuration options.
Provided configuration options:
--with-opt-dir
--without-opt-dir
--with-opt-include
--without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
--with-opt-lib
--without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
--with-make-prog

--with-bz2-lib
--without-bz2-lib=${bz2-dir}/lib
--with-bz2lib
--without-bz2lib
extconf.rb:22: libz2 not found (RuntimeError)
############################################### The package
actually required is libbz2-dev. Installing this via apt and
re-running the gem install will fix the issue. I think the gem
dependencies need to be updated to fix this.
Thanks.

Thanks for pointing this out! A fix should be out later tonight. While we have done testing with Ubuntu, we clearly missed a few spots.

Rethink Version Control.- http://amp.carboni.ca/
Amp aims to put control of version-control software in your hands as a developer. The entire system is written in Ruby (with C extensions to improve performance), and aims to implement all major VCS's in Ruby. Currently, Mercurial is implemented.
Other features:
Commands are first-class members of the system - drop in an "Ampfile" in your repository, and you can add commands to amp in the same manner you add commands to rake (only with far, far more power!)
Documentation is one of our biggest priorities. We require all methods to be documented - even comically simple ones.
Heavy testing.
Multiple "workflows" - use git's commands to power a mercurial repository.
Add hooks/callbacks in minutes.
