Subject: rubynode won't build on Leopard Ruby

I'm trying to build rubynode on a macports installed Ruby on Leopard,
and failing.  (I'm aware rubynode is one of the stock gems installed
in leopard, but its out of date and my whole dev world is in macports,
so I'd like to stay there)

I've tried grabbing the source for ruby p110, and setting the
environment var before installation as instructed in the error message
below.  I inevitably hit further errors down the road.  Any ideas?


rsanheim@ares:~$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-23 patchlevel 110) [i686-darwin9.0.0]

rsanheim@ares:~$ sudo gem install rubynode
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing rubynode:
