13 years ago The issue is indeed one of make vs. gmake on FreeBSD (and thus Net/Open/Dragonfly/etc BSDs). Here's a unidiff patch that will fix the issue:

Installation is failing on FreeBSD, as it seems there are some "linuxisms" in the build instructions.
The -Z option to patch is not understood on any of the BSD systems -- this is a linux only extension. In general, if the system is BSD, the core tools and libraries are not linux versions. Generic arguments should be used, or in the case of issues like 'make', the appropriate alternative checked for -- e.g. on FreeBSD make is BSD make, and GNU make is called 'gmake'.
"sudo gem install memcache" starts out with a failure here:
sudo gem install memcache Password: Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing memcache: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/local/bin/ruby18 extconf.rb Building libmemcached.
After which the configure runs and all the 'checking' lines are printed.. then towards the end we come to:
make all-recursive Making all in docs (a bunch of symlinks are created) make: don't know how to make .pop. Stop *\ Error code 1
Personally I think it would have been better to leave libmemcached out of this -- the version already on the system (0.44_1) works fine, and having it in a gem simply defeats the "purpose" behind all the system package managers like FreeBSD's ports, yum, gentoo's emerge, etc.
