help building ruby package: ruby-gherkin

I need ruby-gherkin[1] so I took over the orphaned package[2]. The build is failing with:

Fetching: trollop-1.16.2.gem (100%)
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing gherkin-2.2.7.gem:

Gem files will remain installed in /home/matt/ruby-gherkin/pkg/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/gherkin-2.2.7 for inspection.
Results logged to /home/matt/ruby-gherkin/pkg/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/gherkin-2.2.7/ext/gherkin_lexer_ar/gem_make.out

I've tried building this with and with gem --ignore-dependencies. It fails both ways. However, if I do gem install --user-install gherkin, everything works fine. I would think I need some makedepends for other ruby packages, but removing --ignore-dependencies doesn't fix the issue...

Thanks!

Re: help building ruby package: ruby-gherkin

Never mind, I had a typo in the version number for gherkin itself. Move along.
