Subject: ld errors attempting to install FXRuby on Solaris 8

Hi all,

Still trying to get FXRuby 1.0.10 going on my Solaris 8 box.  Fox 1.0.11
installed.

I am now getting an ld error of some type.

# ruby install.rb setup
install.rb: entering setup phase...

'system make' failed
try 'ruby install.rb --help' for usage

I rebuilt Fox with gmake to see if that would make a difference.  Nope.

I modified my path so that the Sun tools would be used instead of the tools
from the 'binutils' package.  Nope.

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Dan
