1.9.3 (and nightly snapshot) error

ruby-talk
1

hello - several people have helped me try to get 1.9.2 installed with no
luck thus far.

i tried to do 1.9.3 instead and actually got a little farther! but i
did get this error:

./ruby: symbol lookup error:
/usr/home/edwardsmark/ruby/nightlyRuby/snapshot/.ext/i686-linux/enc/encdb.so:
undefined symbol: rb_encdb_declare
make: *** [rdoc] Error 127

any ideas?

thanks! (and a special thank-you for the patience shown to this total
newbie)

let me also add:

thanks for the suggestion, although i should have figured that one out
myself!

i upgraded gcc and ruby-1.9.3 compiled fine! strangely, ruby-1.9.2
kept giving some sort of corrupt memory error. but i am counting this
one as a success.

Are you using RHEL4 (or derivate, like CentOS/Scientific Linux)?
That's more than 6 years old, and most likely EOL'd by Red Hat (and
thus derivative distributions).

Of course you are having trouble when the compiler and glibc are
vastly outdated!

A method of solution is perfect if we can forsee from the start,
and even prove, that following that method we shall attain our aim.
