I think there a problem while compiling the cool.io rubygem. It seems that -xarch=generic compiles as sparcv8, which does not include them, hence the compiler error. If you want to compile it, you will need to specify: -xarch=v8plus

I don't have a Solaris machine and knowledge. If you can fix the problem of Cool.io gems, please send a pull request to Cool.io.

I was able to run it by upgrading the bash to v4.3 and gcc version to 4.8.2. Earlier I had bash version 3.2 and gcc version 3.4.3.

So, upgrading gcc resolves the problem?

[rahuldahiya]

Yes it does. On 14 Mar 2014 14:58, "Masahiro Nakagawa" notifications@github.com wrote:

Okay. gcc 3.x is too old. I decided to stop such old version support.
