Subject: rbconfig not indicating correct ruby-dev libaries locations

Dear all,

when trying to install the newest Shoes on ubuntu 8.04 from source, I got an error

shoes build options:
CC       = cc
RUBY     = /usr/local
OPTIONS  =
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [i686-linux]
CC -o dist/libshoes.so
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lruby
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [dist/libshoes.so] Error 1

So the correct ruby development library files cannot be found, even though they are installed, because
they are named ruby1.8-dev instead of ruby-dev .
Looking at the Makefile, I see this:

RUBY_INCS = `ruby -rrbconfig -e 'puts Config::CONFIG["archdir"]'`
RUBY_SO = `ruby -rrbconfig -e 'puts Config::CONFIG["RUBY_SO_NAME"]'`
RUBY_LIBS = `ruby -rrbconfig -e 'puts Config::CONFIG["LIBRUBYARG_SHARED"]'` -l${RUBY_SO}
RUBY_PREFIX = `ruby -rrbconfig -e 'puts Config::CONFIG["prefix"]'`

Why can't Ruby determine the names of these files correctly ?

Thank you very much,

Best regards,

Axel
