[Libxml2] help installing libxml-ruby on FreeBSD 6.2

[Charlie Caroff]

Hi,

I'm running freebsd 6.2 release, and I'm having trouble getting libxml-ruby
installed.  When I run

gem install -r libxml-ruby

I get this output

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Any hints?
