I built a NetBSD package for this last week.

You need to specify where you have installed the C fastcgi library
(from http://fastcgi.com/dist/fcgi-2.4.0.tar.gz)

I had to pick through the source and pickaxe to figure it out.

I have fcgiapp.h in /usr/pkg/include, so I run:

0rasputin@lb:ruby-fcgi-0.8.4$ cd ext/fcgi/
0rasputin@lb:fcgi$ ruby extconf.rb --with-fcgi-dir=/usr/pkg
checking for fcgiapp.h... yes
checking for FCGX_Accept() in -lfcgi... yes
creating Makefile

Then 'cd -' and do the usual install.rb config|setup|install cycle.

Actually, dose anyone know of a way to have install.rb pass arguments to 
extconf.rb?
