Subject: rrdtool gem

I am trying to use RRDtool through ruby.  I have installed rrdtool and
it appears to be working(I can run the sample scripts).  I downloaded
the RubyRRDtool gem and tried to install it.  The install appears to
work without errors.  I then tried running the example scripts for the
rrdtool gem and just requiring the gem in irb.  I get the same error for
both, shown below (1).  I then tried building the gem using the
instructions in the README.  I did a 'ruby extconf.rb', 'make', and
'make install'.  Make produces the warnings below (2), but no errors.
The install also seems to succeed, but I get the same issue as the
straight gem install.  From my investigation so far, it appears that
there are a number of rrd commands that are not defined in RRDtool.so.
Is it possible the gem build is not linking against rrd correctly, and
if so, how might I fix this?  I have attached the Makefile that is
produced from the extconf.rb.
