It turns out static linking didn't work either but for the benefit of people reading this in the archives I found a workaround -
There is some documentation of HP-UX PA-RISC compiler here http://h21007.www2.hp.com/portal/site/dspp/menuitem.863c3e4cbcdc3f3515b49c108973a801?ciid=4727276391695110VgnVCM100000275d6e10RCRD (There's probably a better one somewhere but that's the one I used.) The +b option is used by the linker to embed a library path list in the executable for use at run time. However, if passing these options via CC or GCC then the option should be -Wl,+b. The mkmf.log file showed, however, that an unknown option +b was being passed directly to gcc. I found this was coming from configuration in /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/hppa2.0w-hpux11.11/rbconfig.rb. After running configure I made the following change in config.status - mv config.status config.status.orig sed -e 's/^.*RPATHFLAG.*$/S["RPATHFLAG"]=" -Wl,+b%1$-s"/' config.status.orig >config.status chmod +x config.status ./config.status This resulted in /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/hppa2.0w-hpux11.11/rbconfig.rb having # grep RPATHFLAG /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/hppa2.0w-hpux11.11/rbconfig.rb CONFIG["RPATHFLAG"] = " -Wl,+b%1$-s" which is what I wanted. However, the make step still didn't run properly because -Wl,+b was now passed to ld, which is also wrong. Thus after the make step finished I made another change - cd ext/zlib mv Makefile Makefile.orig sed -e 's#^LIBPATH.*$#LIBPATH = -L. -L$(topdir) -L/usr/local/lib +b/usr/local/lib#' Makefile.orig >Makefile make That works fine. Then cd ../.. && make install and the zlib extension was installed.
