Compiling Ruby-1.8.5 on AIX-5.3

[Mehdi]

Hi,
I tried compiling ruby-1.8.5 on AIX5.3 and everytime it fails saying
"unable to compute size of rlim_t" during the configure command. I was
wondering if anybody was able to compile ruby on AIX5.3 and have its
binaries

The following is a part of config.log

configure:12857: checking for intrinsics.h
configure:12865: result: no
configure:12879: checking for rlim_t
configure:12924: gcc -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5
configure:12930: $? = 0
configure:12937: test -z "$ac_c_werror_flag" || test ! -s conftest.err
configure:12940: $? = 0
configure:12947: test -s conftest.o
configure:12950: $? = 0
configure:12962: result: yes
configure:12965: checking size of rlim_t
configure:13443: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lm >&5
collect2: library libm not found
configure:13446: $? = 1
configure: program exited with status 1
configure: failed program was:

Hello Mehdi,

configure:13443: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c -lm >&5
collect2: library libm not found

It seems that you have not yet installed bos.adt.libm.
Please install the package and try again.
I was able to compile ruby 1.8.5 on AIX 5.3 with these parameters for configure:
/configure --prefix=$HOME/tools --disable-ipv6

Best reagards,

can email me.
