The following error occurs when trying to build ruby on two of my  
systems. They are both older RedHat systems. Ruby seems to build fine  
on the z/Linux system I have. Any hints?

Wow facets looks really nice! It even has the multi-hash that was a  
wish a few posts ago, plus some other utilities that I’ve had to write  
from scratch before [but not anymore]. Rock on.
