FCGI with GEM install error

[Michael Whittaker]

Hello folks!

After successfully installing Ruby + Rails on windows to develop, I
wanted to install Ruby with FCGI (for apache2), MySQL and Rails on a
SuSE Linux 10.0 (x64) server for production use.

RAILS installed fine using "gem install rails", so did the mysql
extension.

But when I try to install the FastCGI-gem ("fcgi") I get an error, I
don't understand (btw: I have ruby-devel installed).

==OUTPUT==
funky-server:~ # gem install fcgi
Attempting local installation of 'fcgi'
Local gem file not found: fcgi*.gem
Attempting remote installation of 'fcgi'
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)

Results logged to

==END OUTPUT==


==CONTENT OF gem_make.out==

Thanks for your help,
Michael.
