looks like you're missing something that's needed to build native ruby extensions. If you are on debian, apt-get install build-essential ruby1.8-dev should be sufficient to get everything you need. Maybe the log file mentioned in the above error gives some more info about what's missing? Jens -- Jens Krämer webit!
