Subject: ruby-1.9 build Sun-sparc-solaris2.9

Things went very smoothly.  I did 
./configure --prefix=/scratch/hgs/local ; gmake && gmake check
The only noteworthy things were:

gcc -g -O2  -I. -I.ext/include/sparc-solaris2.9 -I./include -I.  -DRUBY_EXPORT  -c pack.c
( \
          gperf --output-file=lex.c.tmp -C -p -j1 -i 1 -g -o -t -N rb_reserved_word -k1,3,$ keywords && \
          cp lex.c.tmp lex.c && \
          mv lex.c.tmp "./lex.c.blt" \
        ) || \
        cp "./lex.c.blt" lex.c
/bin/sh: gperf: not found


Might be nice if configure could detect this and complain if it is fatal.

compiling openssl
sh: gnome-config: not found
compiling probeprofiler

We don't have gnome.  Probably fairly minor.

**   Ruby is compiled with --enable-pthread, but your Tcl/Tk library
**   seems to be compiled without pthread support. Although you can

I'll look into that, depending on what expect(1) needs.

Will probably disappear if I rebuild tcl/tk/expect.

And the tests ended with

I hope this is of use to someone.
In case it matters:
brains hgs 42 %> gcc --version; gmake --version

GNU Make 3.81
