Subject: HP-UX Socket Build sa_len error

I cannot get ruby 1.8 to build its socket thingy on an HP-UX superdome.  The
socket's make complains of no 'sa_len'. It seems that ruby's socket.c
doesn't like the machine's socket.h.  I get the same outcome with both cc
and gcc (v2.96).  I've googled this to no end, and yet I cannot find a
solution.  The errors point to a bad/old socket header.  While I suspected
the 2.9 gcc was a problem, gcc 3.x does not deliver any socket.h so I don't
think gcc's version is the problem.  Can't ruby run on hp-ux and hp
superdome? What am I missing?
