hi, thanks a lot for your replies

@chris: yes, if you could post or link to a recent binary, that would be 
great !

@lucas: sorry, no luck here !

autogen.sh and configure.sh seem to work (i'm getting a similar config 
status like you posted). but the make process terminates after half an 
hour with an error i have yet to identify.

would you mind sending me your Gem binary so at least i can check if the 
"too many open files" bug is gone so i know it would be worth the effort 
to self-compile ?

thanks for all your inputs !

best

oliver
