you may let ruby do the work for you :)
try ruby 1.9

eg,

$ ruby -ve 'puts("#{(-1.size==4?32:64)}bit", Time.at(4102380000))'
ruby 1.9.2dev (2010-07-11 revision 28618) [i686-linux]
32bit

Solaris 10 SPARC is 64bit. It may be the ruby version I have installed was compiled for 32bit? It's an older version of 1.8.7 off of sunfreeware.com. I noticed that sunfreeware has a newer 1.9.1 version available there now so I think I'll upgrade ruby to 1.9.1 and see what happens.

Thanks,
Matt

Remember that ruby 1.9 is a significantly different language to ruby
1.8. Unless you are lucky, or fancy modifying your app to work with 1.9
(and maybe its dependent libs too), I think you'd be better off finding
a 64-bit build of ruby 1.8.7.
