Subject: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lruby

Hello

         I got the following error when I tried to install ruby-opengl
gem. I attached the entire command line output. The error seems to be
"/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lruby". I have a locally compiled ruby
1.9.1p243 installed. After doing some research I found a blog post
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204908) that describes similar
problem for perl. That post suggests installation of libperl-dev!!! I am
unable to translate this solution to my problem. Any help is
appreciated.


Thanks
Venkat
