Error Compiling Ruby 1.8.4 on AIX 5.2

I recently wrote this up too, but in not as much detail. I did however,
include the errors that I hit along the way, and the changes that I had
to make to overcome those errors, so if you hit another error message
you might figure out what you missed out on:

There is an extra -brtl in the Makefile for LDFLAGS under AIX
and you
need gmake, but those are just the first of the problems you will
encounter.

Its a bit rough getting Ruby to compile on AIX; however, it
is possible.

I put a HOWTO together for it and posted it some weeks ago for the
Visual Age for C compiler, but I recently updated it for compilation
with gcc, so here is the link again: http://homepage.mac.com/

Hope this helps, let me know if it doesn't work as described.

We must have been trying to get it to work on AIX at about the same time!
And, yes, all those errors look strangely familiar. :wink:

Nice site, BTW.
