Problems compiling Ruby 1.8.6 on AIX

ruby-talk
1

I'm trying to get ruby running on AIX 5.3 as I can't find any precompiled versions... :wink:

I've installed the following rpms:
  - openssl-0.9.7l-1
  - libgcc-4.0.0-1
  - zlib-1.2.3-3
  - gcc-c++-4.0.0-1
  - gcc-4.0.0-1
  - libstdc++-4.0.0-1
  - libstdc++-devel-4.0.0-1
  - zlib-devel-1.2.3-3
  - openssl-devel-0.9.7l-1

I set my path to /usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java14/jre/bin:/usr/java14/bin:/opt/freeware/bin/

I tried a simply ./configure as well as ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ruby/ruby-1.8.6 --disable-ipv6 --with-openssl-include=/opt/freeware/include/openssl --with-openssl-lib=/opt/freeware/lib --with-zlib-include=/opt/freeware/include --with-zlib-lib=/opt/freeware/lib to no avail.

Here's a snippet of the make with a number of errors:
        gcc -g -O2 -DRUBY_EXPORT -I. -I. -c array.c
        gcc -g -O2 -DRUBY_EXPORT -I. -I. -c bignum.c

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I'm trying to get ruby running on AIX 5.3 as I can't find any precompiled versions... :wink:

<snip>

/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/4.0.0/include/wchar.h:299: error: parse error before 'mbstate_t'
/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0/4.0.0/include/wchar.h:302: error: parse

It seemed that you've installed gcc for AIX 5.1 to AIX 5.3.
I was able to recreate this error using gcc for 5.1 in my test
environment(AIX5.3).
Please install correct version of gcc.
You can download them from
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/gcc
