Installation on Ubuntu 16.04 does not work - libruby not found but installed
Hi,
This is my third try to install klayout on several of my Ubuntu 16.04 machines.
I used it before on 14.04 without problems but I do not have luck since the update.
It seems to be a problem of finding libraries or the compatibility of them. As stated here (http://www.klayout.de/build.html) should a newer version of libruby work too.
Here my terminal output:
wil@cup:~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get install libruby

libruby is already the newest version (1:2.3.0+1).

Hi Wil,
Ruby 1.9 no longer is available for Ubuntu 16.04. So KLayout won't install on 16.04.
You always have the option to build KLayout from the sources. I'll provide a package for 16.04 on occasion of the next minor release. But don't ask me for a time frame. Having precisely two cores sitting on top of my desk does not exactly meet the requirements of a deployment system, so I need to decide what system to support.
Right now I am utilizing OpenSuSE's build service to provide some of the release builds, but of course they don't offer much support for building non-RPM packages.
If somebody could grant me the resources for setting up a build farm I'd be able to provide packages for Debian on a regular basis too. Thank you.
