I have managed to compile Ruby on AIX 5.3 and have run my application
successfully on it. I have to go thru some series of simple steps to
achieve the same. I have tried to document the same for the benefit
of others.
Please go to

Cheers,
Karthik.
I’ve successfully compiled and installed Ruby 1.8.3 on AIX, I have not
tried 1.8.4 yet… I had to do a lot of fiddling with it to get it to
compile, but that was on AIX 5.1… I have heard that it compiles
just fine on AIX 5.3.
