Description

Hi There,

I'm trying to install wikitext under debian with rubinius as default ruby version.

But it fails with this error:

root@myruby:~/wiki_record_builder# gem install wikitext -v '4.1'
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing wikitext:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/rvm/gems/rbx-head/gems/wikitext-4.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/local/rvm/gems/rbx-head/extensions/x86_64-linux/2.1/wikitext-4.1/gem_make.out

Any idea where's the problem?

    Since version 4.0, it only supports Ruby 2.0 and up.

    I suggest you try building 3.1 or older, which has conditional code which should work on multiple versions:

    https://github.com/wincent/wikitext/blob/3.1/ext/parser.c#L2588-L2602

    For comparison, here's the same code in the current release:

    https://github.com/wincent/wikitext/blob/4.1/ext/wikitext/parser.c#L2583-L2586

    (I decided to drop support for old versions from the latest branch in order to drop some legacy baggage; I don't have a lot of time for this project so want to keep the load light.)
