[Solved] Problem installing ruby-netcdf

I'm having a problem installing the package ruby-netcdf. It builds OK except for a couple of warnings, but as soon as it begins installing, it prompts an error due to a missing make rule. This is the output of the failed installation through yaourt:

==> Starting build()...

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build ruby-netcdf.

Any ideas on what's happening? I warned about this on the package site so the maintainer is aware, but got no response so far.

Re: [Solved] Problem installing ruby-netcdf

Update: this is also happening when I try to install ruby-netcdf as a gem or building it from source, so I guess nothing is particularly wrong with the AUR package. Anyway, I would appreciate any help, as I can't figure out what should be causing this or how could I straighten it. If any additional information is needed, please ask. Thanks!

Re: [Solved] Problem installing ruby-netcdf

This is now solved with the help of the package's maintainer, ram. I will leave hiis solution here in case anyone else should encounter this problem. In this line

make: *** No rule to make target `lib/netcdf.rb/', needed by `/tmp/yaourt-tmp-menelmacar/aur-ruby-netcdf/pkg/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/numru/netcdf.rb'.  Stop.

we can see that the target has a slash at the end (`lib/netcdf.rb/'); it was just a matter of removing that slash from the makefile, along with another from `lib/netcdf_miss.rb/' which will raise the same error, and retrying make install. That fixes it!
