[csw-users] GCC errors when installing ruby gems

[Chris May]

A bit more context that might be useful/relevant. This is a 32-bit x86
install of the OS, running inside a VirtualBox VM. All my previous
(successful) installs have been on 64-bit, non-virtualised x86 (AMD)
platforms.

I wonder if there's something expecting 64-bit libraries but being
given a 32-bit one instead? The   -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 parameter to
gcc seems a bit fishy, though I know nothing about GCC so it could be
entirely innocent.

thanks again,

Chris
