mkmf comes with your Ruby: it's a Makefile maker.

The standard procedure is:

  %  ruby extconf.rb

if this succeeds

  %  make

  %  make install


The ICB library you mentioned needs libicq. A quick google search
shows it is currently up to version 0.33-3. You'll need to install
this before running the extconf.rb stuff.
