I’m running on Solaris and am having trouble building ruby 1.9.  
First, why doesn’t a configure script get bundled in the trunk?  
Anyway, I had to DL and build GNU M4 to get autoconf to build so I  
could generate the configure script. But autoconf never completes …  
it just sites there doing nothing. Can someone post a configure  
script for me to use? Or would it need to be specifically coded for  
my environment? I just wanna play with the newish ruby ☹

In general, auto-generated files aren’t in the repository.

Thanks for the assistance. I’m getting a crash when miniruby tries to  
make prelude.c. Investigating…

It would seem so. It’s the ruby thread passed to vm\_call0() in vm.c
