Hi Nicholas,
Heres a forwarded reply I posted on Ruby-talk earlier today.

Hmm, find_header should be defined by mkmf, so I don't understand what's
going on there. Maybe it's something to do with OSX - has anyone else
seen this?
Anyway, could you post up your ruby version? Also, the results of
running this:
$ ruby -rmkmf -e 'find_header("libxml/xmlversion.h",
"/usr/include/libxml2")'
Thanks,
