Charlie,
You are obviously trying to install Ruby gem that is not ported.
So you can try to imitate a port: install devel/ruby-gems port and do
something like this (in (t)csh):
# setenv CONFIGURE_ARGS "--with-opt-dir=/usr/local"
# /usr/bin/env /usr/local/bin/gem install --no-ri \
--install-dir /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 libxml-ruby-0.5.1.0.gem
This will install the gem (try 'gem list'), but you can easily
experience some problems: please note that gem ports (rubygem-*) use
bsd.ruby.mk and devel/ruby-gems/Makefile.common files which contain a
lot of sophistication needed for proper FreeBSD integration.
This is just a very general advice... For details and the right answer,
you could probably ask FreeBSD Ruby person, Akinori Musha
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- that's what I'd do. :)
