When I try to build Ruby 1.8.6 I get this:

 cc -Ae -s -DRUBY_EXPORT -DYYMAXDEPTH=300  -I. -I.  -c parse.c
cc: "parse.y", line 4446: warning 527: Integral value implicitly

I see from older posts (including one of my own) that others have had
this problem. The old solution of sticking "#define inline" in
config.h did not work, though.

Any ideas?

BTW, you can get access to HP-UX (and OpenVMS, Linux, Windows 2003
Server and FreeBSD 6.2) via the HP testdrive program at http://www.testdrive.hp.com
(which is what I'm using in an attempt to get some platform info for
rubygems).
