Resources for installation problems

Hello -
I am looking for resources on the web to help troubleshoot problems with the installation of OCI8 for Ruby
1.6.8. on the Solaris 8 platform (SPARC). The error that I am receiving is:

hermes # make
cd src && ruby extconf.rb
checking for gcc… yes
Get the version of Oracle from SQL*Plus… 920
try -I/ORACLE/product/9.2.0/rdbms/demo
checking for oci.h… no
try -I/ORACLE/product/9.2.0/rdbms/demo -I/ORACLE/product/9.2.0/rdbms/public
checking for oci.h… yes
Running make for $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk (build) …OK
checking for OCIInitialize()… no
retry with postfix 32.
Running make for $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk (build32) …/oraconf.rb:249:in get_libs': Cannot get proper li bs. (RuntimeError) from ./oraconf.rb:113:ininitialize’
from extconf.rb:4:in new' from extconf.rb:4 *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for targetsrc/Makefile’

and this is with version ruby-oci8-0.1.4 (I have tried p1 as well)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
David
