trouble generating ri of Ruby 1.9 on Fedora Core 4

I'm trying to compile Ruby 1.9 on my web hosting provider's box running Fedora Core 4. It compiles just fine, but when I do "make install" and try to generate the docs, it chokes.

Here is the error message:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

which shows that the culprit is time.c file. The funny thing is that generating docs for just this file by itself works OK:

At home, on Fedora 8 box everything works fine. Any help, please?

Thank you.

Perhaps this is why? FC4 is 2+ years old.

This is beyond unhelpful. It is antagonistic. If you can't offer  
assistance, refrain from writing at all.

On the contrary. Maybe you should stick to being helpful and quit flaming 
others?

What version of gcc? Also, do you have ulimits set or any other memory  
constraints?

If you're compiling from svn, what revision are you at?

That's really specific... almost too specific, and from what I can see/ 
understand in the regexp, it looks balanced. I suspect you've got  
resource issues, but I'll hold judgement for more info.

One possibility is to install sans rdoc by doing 'sudo make install- 
nodoc'
