segmentation fault after make in command-t

  1. anonymous

    Hi,

    I am under ubuntu 64bit, ruby 1.9.2p0, I did:

    cd ~/.vim/ruby/command-t
ruby extconf.rb
make

houdini@moz:~/.vim/bundle/Command-T/ruby/command-t$ vim
Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV
Vim: Finished.
Segmentation fault

    Any ideas to solve this?

    Almost certainly this is due to building Command-T with a different version of Ruby than the one that Vim itself was built with and links against. By "version" I am refering not only to the version number, but also whether a 32-bit or 64-bit Ruby was used.

    Have a look at the documentation (:h command-t) for troubleshooting tips, and there are also a lot of tickets in the issue tracker which you can look at and see how other people have misbuilt the plug-in and solved it by building with a matching version of Ruby.

    $ cd ~/.vim/ruby/command-t
$ /opt/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb
$ make

    solved the problem

    If you use RVM, then first issue

       whereis ruby

    This will give you the version of the system ruby (say, 1.8). Then, 

       rvm use 1.8.7 # or rvm install if you don't have it yet
   rake make # inside ~/.vim/bundle/command-t if you use pathogen, check the command-t readme otherwise

    With:

    $ rvm use system

    you don't even need to check which version of Ruby you should switch to; it just switches to it.

    I've had this problem and solved it by unsetting the GEM_PATH and GEM_HOME before running this command, by adding this to your .bashrc : 

    vim() {
  (unset GEM_PATH GEM_HOME; command vim "$@")
}

    I got this from here.

    After use @Flaviu's method, I got this:

    Vim: Caught deadly signal SEGV

    Anonymous, likely due to miscompilation (see above).
