Subject: installation problem on Solaris 2.8 SPARC 64 bit

I am trying to install Ruby 1.8.5-p12 in a non-root user account on a
Solaris 2.8 SPARC 64 bit machine using a gcc 3.4.2. The only configure
option I used was prefix=/pkg/<some_path>.

When I run make I get an error message I can't make head or tails of
(see end of the text below). Any hints would be much appreciated.
