I should have said that ruby was installed.

Latest version installed: 1.8.6_p111

According to the log file, I still get the following error.


config.status: executing depfiles commands

Ruby header files?"
I can't find any reference to header files.

'emerge amarok' finishes as if the ebuild was installed, but no binary.
