I don't know what is the ruby developer pack, so I may
misunderstand your problems.

After that, if you are using the pre-installed ruby 1.6.7 on Mac
OS X 10.2, check which BSDSDK.pkg has been installed or not as
follows:

  $ which ruby
  /usr/bin/ruby
  $ ls -d /Library/Receipts/BSD.pkg
  /Library/Receipts/BSD.pkg
  $ lsbom /Library/Receipts/BSD.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom | grep 'bin/ruby'
  ./usr/bin/ruby	100755	0/0	595412	0
  $ ls -d /Library/Receipts/BSDSDK.pkg
  /Library/Receipts/BSDSDK.pkg
  $ lsbom /Library/Receipts/BSDSDK.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom | grep ruby.h
  ./usr/lib/ruby/1.6/powerpc-darwin6.0/ruby.h	100644	0/0	16251	2986920000

BSD.pkg and BSDSDK.pkg are enclosed with Mac OS X 10.2.
