Errors with "make" step, while compiling ruby under AIX 5.2

I am wanted to install ruby 1.8.1 under AIX 5.2. During the installation, while doing the “make” part of it, the process abruptily ended with the following errors:

Can anyone help?

Thank you

Nobu, thank you for your reply. However, now I have a new problem after implementing the patch. Below I am adding the new error and the actual patch file.

I am sorry to insist but this is important to me.
I’ve never applied a patch to Ruby. Please forgive my ignorance.
I was under the impression that I only had to replace segment of codes from extconf.rb with the code segment that you provided, and retry the “make” again.
I guess I am wrong!
If you or anyone else do have some instructions as to how to apply a patch or if you could point me to a place where I can get that information, I will truly appreciate it.

Thank you

Well, Well I was finally able to apply the patch. My mail server was changing the patch file. However, I got the original problem back even with the new patch.
I am truly sorry that I insist with this issue. But this is important to me. I am in the process of deploying 90 RS/6000 running AIX 5.2, and I would like to make ruby perhaps the secondary language behind the Korn Shell, although I would prefer to have ruby as the primary language.

Thank you so much for your help,

Hello there!
The “make clean” executed without any problems. However, I still get the same error.
As a matter of fact, I started the process from the begining with the new patch, but I still get the same problem.

I am attaching a copy of the output from the make process.

Thank you for your help

Patching …/rmd160/extconf.rb and …/sha1/extconf.rb, followed by the make distclean, followed by make, did the trick.
