At this point, I'm not asking for a lot, just a hint would help, such as,
what library is crypto in (openssl I guess????  I'm attempting to compile
that now, so hopefully my guess is right), and what library is iconv in?
And which one is likely the hangup for YAML+SYCK?

I'm trying my best to not waste anyone's time, and for every response I've
spent at least an hour checking, rechecking deleting and reinstalling from
scratch (honing the mysterious procedure), and I have made several
discoveries on the way.  I thank everyone for advice so far and understand
if you all want to give up.  After all, I'm not exactly paying anyone for
their time.  That's kind of why I keep talking about creating a lower-level
procedure for an HP-UX install, so that the Ruby community will at least be
able to gain some benefit at the end of this thread.
