You were right, I had no Makefile. I had some errors in the configure
options I was using. After fixing them everything compiled and I am
now able to run ruby and Tk.

Still getting a lot of unresolved warning errors.

To re-cap:

System: alphaev6-dec-osf4.0f

I made the following changes so far to get things working:


../ruby-1.6.3> diff configure.%1 configure
5222c5222
<     CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -ansi"
---
>     CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -std"

Not the proper spot for this change for my system
configuration, but the only place it propagates
throughout the make process.


../ruby-1.6.3> diff ruby.h.%1 ruby.h
545,547c545,547
< extern inline VALUE rb_class_of _((VALUE));
< extern inline int rb_type _((VALUE));
< extern inline int rb_special_const_p _((VALUE));
---
> static inline VALUE rb_class_of _((VALUE));

./configure --prefix=/u/jkaurin \
                   --exec-prefix=/u/jkaurin \
                   --includedir=/usr/local/include \
                   --with-tcllib=tcl8.3 \
                   --with-tklib=tk8.3 \
                   --x-includes=/usr/include/X11 \
                   --x-libraries=/usr/lib/X11

This is a local install under my account.


../ruby-1.6.3> make


I still get numerous warnings during the
make process.


If you would care to, I would be willing to work with you
offline to eliminate all the problems with the
alphaev6-dec-osf4.0f load (or with me :-), time
permitting for both of us. I have the output of both the
configure and the make I could send you.
