I posted a thread about errors I had installing OCI8 libraries on  
Solaris 10 Sparc machine. I don’t have root access.

I finally managed to fix that error by editing rbconfig.rb file and  
correctin ‘cc’ path there. It had gcc path in there. I installed Sun  
Studio 12.1 and replaced that path. So, at-least that error was fixed.  
Now I have this error and I kind of know how to fix it but I don’t  
know which file to edit.

Error is because it can’t find: \<cmath.h\> etc. I know where they are  
in my system, but I don’t know where to add that path information. The  
makefile doesn’t have many options. What file do I need to edit to add  
path information of .h files?
