[gentoo-user] gem install linecache19 fails

[gentoo-user] gem install linecache19 fails

[1126]

Hello, 

I do need the ruby-gem linecache19-0.5.12. Usually, there are two ways to install a gem, right? Via emerge and via gem install. But here, only one way works. dev-ruby/linecache only builds the 
ruby18-version 
of 
this gem, so I'm stuck with gem install. But gem install fails with the following error:

trace_nums.c:(.text+0x22): undefined reference to `ruby_current_thread'


I am using ruby-1.9.3p194, but tried with different versions as well. 

Does anyone have a clue what I can do to solve the problem and get linecache19-0.5.12 installed?

Thanks in advance,

Christian.

Other people seem to have had the same problem. Try the git version,
it's somewhat more likely to work considering the last commit was
"updated for Ruby 1.9.3":
