A brute-force approach might be: Simply grab the latest Ruby source and try to build it. Start fixing the errors as they crop up. At some point, step back from the keyboard and ask if this is really going to work. ;) If the OS is a reasonable one, it should be doable. If it's one that is so strange that (for example) it doesn't have the concept of a file, that might be an order of magnitude harder. Hal -- Hal Fulton hal9000@hypermetrics.com
