Subject: Re: Ruby 1.8.5 on AIX 5.3 "ruby -v" errors

The ruby previously compiled was on AIX 5.3.0.4. It compiled perfectly
and there were no errors and ran perfectly until I upgraded AIX from
maintenance level 4 to maintenance level 5. I tried to compile again
and this is the error I get when I run "make". When I use the binaries
which I compiled on Maintenance level 4 the test scripts work and looks
like its working but when I run "ruby -v" it gives segmentation fault,
like the one given below when I tried compiling agin.
