Activating the gem puts the gem on the load path, where simply requiring
the file will search every gem that's installed until it can find a gem
that contains the `did_you_mean` file.
Calling RubyGems' `require` will search each installed gem until it can
find one that contains the file it should require. This means that the
more gems you have installed, the longer it can take to require that
gem.
To see this in action, lets compare the number of `stat` calls for a
"bare require" vs the number of `stat` calls for a require that follows
a gem activation by using these two programs:
```
[aaron@TC rubygems (master)]$ cat req_dym.rb
begin
require 'did_you_mean'
rescue LoadError
end
[aaron@TC rubygems (master)]$ cat gem_dym.rb
begin
gem 'did_you_mean'
require 'did_you_mean'
rescue Gem::LoadError, LoadError
end
```
The first program just requires the `did_you_mean` gem, where the second
one activates the gem, then requires it. We can count the number of
`stat` calls using `dtrace`:
```
[aaron@TC rubygems (master)]$ ruby -v
ruby 2.3.0p0 (2015-12-25 revision 53290) [x86_64-darwin15]
[aaron@TC rubygems (master)]$ sudo dtrace -q -n 'syscall::stat*:entry { printf("%s\n", copyinstr(arg0)); }' -c`rbenv which ruby`" --disable-did_you_mean req_dym.rb" | wc -l
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 3 (ID 826: syscall::stat64:entry): invalid user access in action #1 at DIF offset 24
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 3 (ID 826: syscall::stat64:entry): invalid user access in action #1 at DIF offset 24

[aaron@TC rubygems (master)]$ sudo dtrace -q -n 'syscall::stat*:entry { printf("%s\n", copyinstr(arg0)); }' -c`rbenv which ruby`" --disable-did_you_mean gem_dym.rb" | wc -l
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 3 (ID 826: syscall::stat64:entry): invalid user access in action #1 at DIF offset 24
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 3 (ID 826: syscall::stat64:entry): invalid user access in action #1 at DIF offset 24

dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 3 (ID 826: syscall::stat64:entry): invalid user access in action #1 at DIF offset 24
13
```
The "bare require" version does over 10x the number of stat calls
compared to the "gem, then require" version. Of course the number for
the first one depends on the number of gems you have installed that sort
before the `did_you_mean` gem.
Lets also look at trunk Ruby:
```
[aaron@TC rubygems (master)]$ ruby -v
ruby 2.4.0dev (2016-02-25 trunk 53940) [x86_64-darwin15]
[aaron@TC rubygems (master)]$ sudo dtrace -q -n 'syscall::stat*:entry { printf("%s\n", copyinstr(arg0)); }' -c`rbenv which ruby`" --disable-did_you_mean req_dym.rb" | wc -l
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 3 (ID 826: syscall::stat64:entry): invalid user access in action #1 at DIF offset 24
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 3 (ID 826: syscall::stat64:entry): invalid user access in action #1 at DIF offset 24
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 3 (ID 826: syscall::stat64:entry): invalid user access in action #1 at DIF offset 24
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 3 (ID 826: syscall::stat64:entry): invalid user access in action #1 at DIF offset 24
2325
[aaron@TC rubygems (master)]$ sudo dtrace -q -n 'syscall::stat*:entry { printf("%s\n", copyinstr(arg0)); }' -c`rbenv which ruby`" --disable-did_you_mean gem_dym.rb" | wc -l
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 3 (ID 826: syscall::stat64:entry): invalid user access in action #1 at DIF offset 24
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 3 (ID 826: syscall::stat64:entry): invalid user access in action #1 at DIF offset 24
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 3 (ID 826: syscall::stat64:entry): invalid user access in action #1 at DIF offset 24
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 3 (ID 826: syscall::stat64:entry): invalid user access in action #1 at DIF offset 24

```
This change will reduce the number of `stat` calls on trunk Ruby too,
but since this installation doesn't have the `did_you_mean` gem,
RubyGems is still reading every gem spec file so that it can raise a
`Gem::LoadError` exception with a nice error message. If we can modify
RubyGems a little, it may be possible to drop the number of stat calls
even on a Ruby installation that doesn't have the `did_you_mean` gem.

What's Ruby
Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, and extensible.
Features of Ruby
- Simple Syntax
- Normal Object-oriented Features (e.g. class, method calls)
- Advanced Object-oriented Features (e.g. Mix-in, Singleton-method)
- Operator Overloading
- Exception Handling
- Iterators and Closures
- Garbage Collection
- Dynamic Loading of Object Files (on some architectures)
- Highly Portable (works on many Unix-like/POSIX compatible platforms as well as Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, etc.) cf. http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk/wiki/SupportedPlatforms

How to compile and install
This is what you need to do to compile and install Ruby:
-
If you want to use Microsoft Visual C++ to compile ruby, read win32/README.win32 instead of this document.
-
If
./configuredoes not exist or is older than configure.in, runautoconfto (re)generate configure. -
Run
./configure, which will generateconfig.handMakefile.Some C compiler flags may be added by default depending on your environment. Specify
optflags=..andwarnflags=..as necessary to override them. -
Edit
defines.hif you need. Usually this step will not be needed. -
Remove comment mark(
#) before the module names fromext/Setup(or add module names if not present), if you want to link modules statically.If you don't want to compile non static extension modules (probably on architectures which do not allow dynamic loading), remove comment mark from the line "
#option nodynamic" inext/Setup.Usually this step will not be needed.
-
Run
make. -
Optionally, run '
make check' to check whether the compiled Ruby interpreter works well. If you see the message "check succeeded", your ruby works as it should (hopefully). -
Run '
make install'This command will create the following directories and install files into them.
${DESTDIR}${prefix}/bin${DESTDIR}${prefix}/include/ruby-${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/include/ruby-${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/site_ruby${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/site_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/site_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/${PLATFORM}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/lib/ruby/gems/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}${DESTDIR}${prefix}/share/man/man1${DESTDIR}${prefix}/share/ri/${MAJOR}.${MINOR}.${TEENY}/system
If Ruby's API version is 'x.y.z', the
${MAJOR}is 'x', the${MINOR}is 'y', and the${TEENY}is 'z'.NOTE: teeny of the API version may be different from one of Ruby's program version
You may have to be a super user to install ruby.
If you fail to compile ruby, please send the detailed error report with the error log and machine/OS type, to help others.
Some extension libraries may not get compiled because of lack of necessary
external libraries and/or headers, then you will need to run 'make distclean-ext'
to remove old configuration after installing them in such case.
