Howdy, Hunter!

That message means extconf.rb can't find the ruby.h header file it needs 
to compile RMagick. On my system I have this file:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0/ruby.h

Is it present on your system? (I can't imagine why it wouldn't be.) Did 
you specify any options on the ./configure command?
