  I'm curious to know which system that is. You might be missing the
so-called ruby development files. Is there a ruby-devel package or
something in this spirit available for your machine ? (on debian/ubuntu,
that would libruby1.8-devel, but I make sure debian packages are up-to-date)

  What is the output of

locate ruby.h ?

  What puzzles me is that apparently extconf.rb find rbconfig.rb, which
means that development files should be found.

  Is it ruby 1.9 ? If that is the case, currently published versions of
Tioga do not support it. However, the current SVN version does support
it, so might give it a try; see there:
