This supposes the following:

  * ruby 1.8.2
  * SWIG >= 1.3.24

And I'm using the followings:

  * ruby 1.8.2 (2005-01-10) [i386-linux] : ruby -v
  * SWIG Version 1.3.25 : swig -version |& grep Version
    * CVS HEAD
  * 2.6.8-2-k7 i686 GNU/Linux : uname -rmo
    * Debian GNU/Linux sid

and

  * ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i386-freebsd5] : ruby -v
  * SWIG Version 1.3.25 : swig -version |& grep Version
    * CVS HEAD
  * FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE i386 : uname -prs

To configure the bindings:

  % ./configure ... --with-swig-ruby-sitedir=$HOME/local/lib/site_ruby

--with-swig-ruby-sitedir option are explained at below. If
you don't specify the option, the bindings are installed to
ruby's default sitedir.

To make the bindings:

  % make swig-rb

To install the bindings:

  % make install-swig-rb

To run test: (don't need install)

  % cd subversion/bindings/swig/ruby && ruby test/run-test.rb

To run without installing:

  % mkdir -p subversion/bindings/swig/ruby/ext/svn
  % ln -fs ../../.libs subversion/bindings/swig/ruby/ext/svn/ext
  % ruby -I subversion/bindings/swig/ruby \
         -I subversion/bindings/swig/ruby/ext \
         ... (script name, `which irb` and so on)

I think you are using ruby 1.6.x. rb_hash_foreach is not
available on ruby 1.6.x.

I wanted to customize installed directory. So I used $PREFIX
to do this. But it wasn't good idea.

I added a new configure option,
--with-swig-ruby-sitedir. Users can customize installed base
directory. If users don't set this, the bindings are
installed system default directory which can be got by the
following:

  % ruby -r rbconfig -e 'puts Config::CONFIG["sitedir"]'
