Is there a dependency list?

Yes, I use kubuntu and I find you have to install several packages before you end up with a full installation of ruby suitable for development.

I use the Mepis, an Ubuntu based distro.
Until I Synatic'ed a useful looking package called ruby1.8-dev I was unable to compile QtRuby (non-4 edition). gcc gave me errors as useless as

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/mz/Desktop/qtruby-1.0.13/qtruby'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mz/Desktop/qtruby-1.0.13'
make: *** [all] Error 2

so it was by chance that I got it to work.
I suspect this issue affects users of every Ubuntu-based distro, so I suggest that a note be added to the installation instructions about this package.
This is of course assuming I didn't miss anything obvious.

Also, good work on QtRuby.
