n.b. the command run here was "gem install mongrel", though other native gems seem to fail in thes same way. The same command appears to work fine on an equivalent non-virtualised solaris 10u7/x64 platform

I am still working on this issue, but slowly as I haven't had time to dig into it yet. Just and FYI so you know it's not forgotten.

I'm most likely going to be rebuilding ruby for solaris 9+ with sun cc. Hopefully this will resolve the problem. No timeline on this yet, but fairly soon, I hope.

I have placed updated ruby packages in testing. These are built with sun studio 11. Can you test these packages and (in conjunction with studio 11) see if the gem build problem persists in your 32-bit solaris 10 environment?

Thanks.

This works _almost_ perfectly for me. Two changes I had to make:

1: Gem looks for the sun compiler in /opt/studio/SOS11/SUNWspro, but on my system it's in /opt/SUNWspro - I _think_ that's the default - at least, I don't remember changing it. I made a symlink and it worked fine.

2: When I ran mongrel, /opt/csw/lib/ruby/gems/mongrel-1.1.5/lib/http11.so could not find libucb.so to link against. I had to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/ucblib, then everything was fine

I guess both of these could be fixed, if appropriate, by setting overrides on CC and LD_FLAGS in rbconfig.rb

Option 1 could be worked around by providing /opt/csw/lib/ruby/1.8/$arch-solaris2.8/rbconfig.rb.LOCAL with the required alterate path to CC and then using the cswrbconfig tool to make that the default rbconfig.rb used. (I don't want sos11 on all of my systems and prefer gcc4 for most things, so I provided an ability to easily flip flop.)

Option 2 can be corrected at build time on my side, I think. I'll look at that tonight.

Thanks for the quick feedback and sorry for the long delay on this.

I haven't tested myself on sol10x86/32bit yet, but the mongrel gems I've built with sos11 don't link to libucb.so. Can you determine how/why that library is being used.

I'll try to fire up my VM tomorrow and test this too.

Updated packages with sun studio 11 as default compiler pushed for release.
