When emerging krossruby, it fails with the error:
Ruby Libraries: RUBY_LIBRARY-NOTFOUND

I've confirmed that Ruby is installed and that I have version: 1.8.7_p249

I'm not sure how to get krossruby to recognize the Ruby version. I've added my example to:
Gentoo Bug: 256703

However that bug report mentions that it's in reference to Ruby 1.9, which is not my case. Perhaps someone here can shed some light on what I'm missing.

Thanks.

I have completed a bug report. Any guidance on what could be the issue here would be greatly appreciated. I take it by the lack of response that other's are not seeing the same issue.

Gentoo Bug 303217

Thanks.

what is the portage command to determine what packages are requiring a specific package. I noticed that I don't have krossruby built in another i7 system of mine, yet this one is requiring it. There must be a package or series of packages trying to pull it in.

Thanks.

The solution was found in:

Gentoo Bug 265370

You need to create a libruby.so symlink in /usr/lib to point to the correct libruby so file for your install. eselect does not properly create this link.

Don't do that. eselect ruby does not create this link _on purpose_. It will break horribly when there's Ruby 1.8 and Ruby 1.9 around, as my comment on the bug stated.
