Installing Ruby Extensions on Solaris
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkTuesday, June 20, 2006
When you are coding a C extension for Ruby, and you use mkmf to create your Ruby Makefile on a Solaris box, make install may fail.
Solution:
Add -lsocket -lnsl after -lingres.
That’s it. Hat tip: Jared
