Help required for the compilation of ruby 1.9

[Chirag Mistry]

Hi

We have downloaded the Ruby 1.9 source code from the link
“http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk/†and we tried to compile the
code but we got following error and “make†fails at the execution of
command “./miniruby ./mkconfig.rb -timestamp=.rbconfig.time
-install_name=ruby -so_name=ruby rbconfig.rbâ€. Please give your reply
about solution of this error so we can successfully compile and install
ruby1.9 package. Please also tell us if there are any prerequisites for
successful compilation/installation of ruby1.9 package.
