OPKG repository ruby version issue

Routers

Hi,

My router is GL-SFT1200. My openwrt package repositories are the official Gl-int:
src/gz glinet_kmod https://fw.gl-inet.com/releases/v18.06.5/kmod-4.3.2/siflower/sf19a28_nand
src/gz glinet_private https://fw.gl-inet.com/releases/v18.06.5/packages-4.1/siflower/glinet
src/gz glinet_packages https://fw.gl-inet.com/releases/v18.06.5/packages-3.6/siflower/packages
However, my ruby runtime runs into an issue, it seems the stringio.so has incompatible versions.
Details:

root@GL-SFT1200:~# opkg info ruby
Package: ruby
Version: 2.5.1-1
Depends: libc, libruby
Status: install ok installed
Section: lang
Architecture: mips_siflower

Filename: ruby_2.5.1-1_mips_siflower.ipk
Description: 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.

Example of the ruby error stack:

To eliminate this warning, please install libyaml and reinstall your ruby.

Hello,

There is the libyaml plugin package in the SFT1200 repo.

You can install it in your SFT1200.

Thank you for your response Bruce. However, this is not the root cause. I reinstalled libyaml and ruby but still cannot get it work, it is still the same error. When I run ruby -ryaml -E UTF-8 -e "YAML.load_file('/usr/share/openclash/res/default.yaml')" I still get the same error:

/usr/lib/ruby/2.5/yaml.rb:5: warning: It seems your ruby installation is missing psych (for YAML output).
To eliminate this warning, please install libyaml and reinstall your ruby.

The error message please install libyaml and reinstall your ruby. is confusing because the real root cause is the stringio.so is not a valid version in gl-inet's repository. I believe this is a known issue in openwrt 18.06: See ruby-gems: unable to run gem command 'incompatible library version - stringio.so' · Issue #9297 · openwrt/packages · GitHub. You need to update the libc in the openwrt firmware.

Hi,

R&D just checked this issue, and found that the libc cannot be updated separately by installing package.

If want to newer version libc, may have to update the op first, but the current op version of SFT1200 is op18, and no newer op version yet.

If there is a new op version of SFT1200, we will follow up to update libc.
