Ruby-devel

I am trying to install FXRuby-1.0.28 which tells me it can’t find Ruby’s
header files. So I presume I must install ruby-devel.

I have ruby-1.8.0 installed, but when I try to install ruby-devel-1.8.0, I
get:

    devel(libcrypt)   is needed by ruby-devel-1.8.0-7mdk
    devel(libdl)   is needed by ruby-devel-1.8.0-7mdk
    devel(libm)   is needed by ruby-devel-1.8.0-7mdk

Now from what I can tell libcrypt, libdl, and libm are provided by glibc. I
have glibc-2.3.1-10.1.91mdk & glibc-devel-2.3.1-10.1.91mdk installed.

My question is, What exactly is ruby-devel looking for? libcrypt.h? There
is no glibc sub-directory in my #include directory.

In my #lib directory, I have:
libcrypt.so
libcrypto.so
libcrypto.so.0.9.6
libcrypto.so.0
libcrypto.so.0.9.7

What in the world is devel(libcrypt)?

TIA,
Terry

does not “urpme ruby” work for you?

Perhaps I should have addressed this issue on a Mandrake forum. I
downgraded to ruby-1.8.0-4mdk, et al.; problem solved.

No, urpmi does not work:

"
