Installing RubyGems 0.9.4 on Solaris 2.6

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone can assist here -

Have installed Ruby 1.8.6 on Solaris 2.6 (Sparc), and that seemed to
install ok. I then went to install RubyGems 0.9.4 (as the good book
suggests) and found that I encounter an error partway through the
installation (executed ‘ruby setup.rb’ at the location of where I
extracted the RubyGem tarfile).

I’m not sure what I’m missing here as the three files (thread.so,
ld.so.1 and libgcc_s.so.1) are all in the PATH, and can be seen???

Thanks in advance.

Problem solved.
