I would follow my nose in search of headers and examine the makefile.

Despite ruby gems, I find using my operating systems package management
usually
works best. I also prefer pure ruby implementations where possible, because
it's
less bugger (for me) to fetch via gem. And if I was worried about
performance
I'd have waited for skipped 'scripting' languages...
