 See the file README.en

 Installation
 
   ruby extconf.rb
   make
   make install
 
 You may need to specify :

  --with-db-include-dir=<include file directory for bdb>

  --with-db-lib-dir=<library directory for bdb>

  --with-db-prefix=<prefix for library and include of bdb>

 Example :
 
  ruby extconf.rb --with-db-prefix=/home/ts/local
