Subject: Re: Compile Ruby 1.8.4 on HP-UX 11

I would have stuck with the tried-and-true gcc 3.4 series instead of the
more strict gcc 4.x series.  I don't know which gcc matz uses, but I doubt
it's 4.1.

That said, I think these links discuss the unix98.o linking problem:
   http://devrsrc1.external.hp.com/STKT/impacts/i332.html
   http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/95163

To fix the linking problem I would try the following:
1. revert to gcc 3.4.5
2. add environmental variable definitions as specified in above links
3. add '-L/usr/lib' so gcc knows where unix98.o is located. Something like this:
        export LIBARY_PATH="/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/lib:."
4. copy /usr/lib/unix98.o to your ruby compilation directory if all else fails.

The error at 'configure:1974' is inconsequential. The error at 'configure:2003'
is important.

I'm sorry I don't have access to an hp system to test any of this on.
