hpricot on my Solaris x-86 box. cc bad , gcc good

[HoboHoward]

Dear List,

I want to install hpricot on my Solaris x-86 box.

The makefile generated by the hpricot-installer wants me to use the
'cc' c-compiler.

I dont have 'cc'.

I have 'gcc'.

Is it possible for me to force the hpricot-installer to use my copy of
gcc ??

Here is a screen dump of my installation attempt:

It really wants to use the compiler that Ruby was built with.

[~]0% ruby -rrbconfig -e 'p Config::CONFIG["CC"]'
"cc"

The Sun compiler suite can be downloaded for free, but if you are
really attached to gcc then you should build Ruby yourself instead of
using blastwave.

I fixed my hpricot problems on my solaris x-86 box.

I downloaded a couple of large files from sun.com after registration:

-rwx------ 1 maco staff 243701577 Nov 27 02:54 SunStudio12ml-
solaris-x86-200709-ii.tar.bz2
-rwx------ 1 maco staff 272616587 Nov 27 02:58
SunStudio12mlPrepSys-solaris-x86-200709.tar.bz2


I unpacked them:

tar jxf SunStudio12ml-solaris-x86-200709-ii.tar.bz2
tar jxf SunStudio12mlPrepSys-solaris-x86-200709.tar.bz2


I found:

85 bash-23:22:00-sol:~/sun_studio12 $

86 bash-23:22:08-sol:~/sun_studio12 $
86 bash-23:22:08-sol:~/sun_studio12 $


I ran shell commands:

cd SS12_prep_system
su
/prepare_system -s netbeans,patches

I found cc here: ~/sun_studio12/SUNWspro/bin/cc

I added
~/sun_studio12/SUNWspro/bin to my PATH.

I ran shell command:
