I got this error, but only after installing the bash shell.
Before I installed the bash shell, I downloaded and compiled ruby
with no problem. Then I installed bash, but inside bash 
I could not run irb - but I could still run ruby.
I figured that it must be a path problem but have not taken
the time to investigate. So, I uninstalled the bash shell
and reverted back to tcsh. However, now I get the same problem
you have reported above. I cannot build ruby.

I am very interested in what anyone has to say about this.
