    Resolution:
    From Eyal:

    I successfully installed sp 1184 on your server.

    /exlibris/aleph//a18_1/alephm%>ver
    SUN_OS_2, ..., Aleph 18 revision 01 copy 1, 28-Feb-2006
    Oracle 102
    Service Pack: 1184
    <etc.>

    The problem was with the gcc that was in the path.
    I changed in aleph_start for the /usr/sfw/bin/gcc to be ahead of /usr/local/bin/gcc (the one you tried to run the sp with) in the $PATH and the sp worked fine.
