Sun Cobalt RaQ 550 Installation

[Anthony Landa]

I tried to install Ruby per the instructions on
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/GettingStartedWithRails
and
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/Ruby+and+Rails+on+Red+Hat+Linux+9

During the 'make', things start breaking down somewhere around this
message:

<code>

So, after two attempts, I scrapped the idea of installing Ruby manually,
and tried to find a Cobalt RPM.

I came across this website:

http://www.ruby-project.net/Ruby/55x/

But I really don't know where to go from there. eruby-1.0.1-2.src.rpm
looks like it might be promising. So does ruby-1.6.8-5.i386.rpm .

I'm afraid to just start randomly installing rpms. I cannot find any
documentation. Any tips, or should I just give up entirely?

Thanks,
