Woo!. Seems everything compiles perfectly. I had to copy the snappy libraries into the closed binary section of the build. Also, i had to build a 64bit and 32bit version of snappy (a bit difficult). I ran into a libtool bug (yes, another road block) when trying to compile the 64bit version of snappy. Right now, I use iscsi with virtualbox. So its difficult to import that into a different VM product (most desktop VM products dont support iSCSI booting).. I think i will copy over my illumos-gate directory to a now OpenIndiana installation, using a virtualHD, instead of iscsi. Then i should be able to import it into VMware or VirtualPC...and avoid the virtualbox bug I am experiencing with the latest illumos build. https://bitbucket.org/techsaint/zfssnappy

I am currently trying to add the snappy compression into ZFS for fun. You can check out my code here:  https://bitbucket.org/techsaint/zfssnappy I've been working on this for a few months (started around august). I've had massive roadblocks every step of the way. The first was the oracle purchase of Sun. Because of the purchase, the Sun Compiler tool patches (which were needed for an illumos build) were removed from the public. It took a month or so for the community to post instructions on using GCC instead of the Sun Compiler. After that, there was slight bug in the illumos build configuration that didnt allow for working builds if your new build version was older than the whatever version of illumos you were on. See  https://www.illumos.org/issues/1118 Now this new bug, is a virtualbox bug, which just appeared out of no where. Here is the ticket:  https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/9651 . Since I rebased with the latest illumos code (as per build instructions) I ...

After trying to find an answer, i found one at http://weblog.rubyonrails.org/2007/12/7/rails-2-0-it-s-done from blog comment #83. Apparently there is a need to seed the session key in the session, with a 30+ character string. In your config/enviornment.rb within the Rails::Initializer.run do |config| / end block add the following: config.action_controller.session = { :session_key => "_myapp_session", :secret => "Any 30+ character string will do here, so choose whatever"} Hope this helps.
