Download Release 0.80 - the current release

• Click here for details about this release.
• Installation procedures:
  tar -zvxf arunadb_0_80.tar.gz
  cd arunadb_0_80/ruby_ext
  ruby extconf.rb # this creates the Makefile
  make # You may see some (about 2 dozen) warnings messages such as "aruna.c:412: warning: decimal constant is so large that it is unsigned". These are okay.
  make install
  
• This creates a sub-directory called arunadb_0_80 containing the following:
  • docs - this directory contains all documentation. The documentation is currently available only in html format.
  • ruby_ext - this contains several C extensions to Ruby needed by ArunaDB.
  • tst - this contains the Ruby test scripts I use to test the software.
• You need to do one of the following to properly integrate ArunaDB into your Ruby scripts (Ruby needs to be configured to be able to find the ArunaDB files):
  
  • copy the .rb files to your Ruby lib directory
  • reference the arunadb_0_80 directory using the -I parameter when running Ruby
  • set the $: or $LOAD_PATH variables to include the directory where the ArunaDB files are (arunadb_0_80)

Quick test:

• cd ../tst
• ruby -I.. tst_a_btree.rb
• # The -I.. tells ruby to find the ArunaDB library files in the parent directory
