Taglib - Ruby - Deployment - Keep getting bundle error - extconf.rb failed

Question

thanks for any help in advance. I've been stuck on this problem for a couple of days now and could definitely use some help.

I'm currently trying to deploy my app and I'm using the taglib-ruby gem and works perfectly on my local machine. But when I try to deploy via Heroku OR Engineyard, I get the following error:

    Installing taglib-ruby (0.5.1) with native extensions 
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

        /usr/bin/ruby19 extconf.rb 
checking for main() in -lstdc++... yes

You must have taglib installed in order to use taglib-ruby.

Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libtag1-dev
Fedora/RHEL: sudo yum install taglib-devel
Brew: brew install taglib
MacPorts: sudo port install taglib

*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more

Gem files will remain installed in /data/musicmind/shared/bundled_gems/ruby/1.9.1/gems/taglib-ruby-0.5.1 for inspection.

An error occured while installing taglib-ruby (0.5.1), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install taglib-ruby -v '0.5.1'` succeeds before bundling.

What could I possibly be doing wrong? I'm thinking maybe there is a way to send this library with my application for deployment?

My gemfile is this:

Again, thank you, and if there is any information I can provide to help solve this issue, please let me know.

On the Engineyard stack, you just need to add the media-libs/taglib to your package list for the gem to use. We don't install taglib by default on the AMI.

You can do this via the dashboard ( https://support.cloud.engineyard.com/entries/21074071-Add-UNIX-Packages-to-Your-Application ), just search for taglib and select media-libs/taglib from the list.

If you want to do this on the command line for a test:

deploy@ip-10-66-7-217 ~ $ sudo emerge media-libs/taglib

Local copy of remote index is up-to-date and will be used.
 * Last emerge --sync was 1y 42d 54m 34s ago.
Calculating dependencies... done!

>>> Verifying ebuild manifests

>>> Emerging (1 of 1) media-libs/taglib-1.7.2
>>> Downloading 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/taglib-1.7.2.tar.gz'

>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.

 * GNU info directory index is up-to-date.

 * IMPORTANT: 2 config files in '/etc' need updating.
 * See the CONFIGURATION FILES section of the emerge
 * man page to learn how to update config files.
deploy@ip-10-66-7-217 ~ $ gem install taglib-ruby
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Successfully installed taglib-ruby-0.6.0
1 gem installed
deploy@ip-10-66-7-217 ~ $

You can also add this via Custom Chef if you want to add this to multiple environments

component_version = "1.7.2"  # If your on the 2012.11 Stable-v4 stack, "1.5" if your in 2009a   

enable_package 'media-libs/taglib' do
  version component_version
end

package 'media-libs/taglib' do
  version component_version
  action :install
end

Finally, you can install media-libs/taglib-extras if you want support for the extra taglib-extras proprietary file formats.

Many gems with native extensions require base libraries to be installed. Most of them can be added like this and you can open a ticket with Engine Yard support for help with more complex cases.

The taglib-heroku gem looks like it might work.

the gem, unfortunately, is no longer working. talked to the repo holder yesterday. – Jches Aug 21 '12 at 16:58
It looks like the versions in the git repo seem to work. I just added the following to a Gemfile and did a deploy. `gem 'cmake-heroku', :git => 'git://github.com/pjkelly/cmake-heroku.git' gem 'taglib-heroku', :git => 'git://github.com/pjkelly/taglib-heroku.git'` – anthonyfojas Aug 21 '12 at 21:52
I'm getting the same error as above. Are you saying that you are getting no error when deploying to heroku? I'd like to see your log files for heroku. Maybe it'll give me a hint as to what I'm doing wrong. – Jches Aug 22 '12 at 00:03
Unfortunately it looks like those taglib-heroku gems have been removed from pjkelly's Github account. – Pete Nov 29 '12 at 21:19

I solved this problem by creating a custom buildpack with heroku. Use it to install taglib with no problems.

https://github.com/menan/heroku-buildpack-ruby.git

here is how you use the custom buildpack if you're unsure.
