Rails - Mar 2006 - [mongrel] [fedora5] install error " can't find ruby libs"

Installed Fedora5.
Installed Ruby 1.8.4.
Installed rubygems.
Installed rails.
Created test app to verify that ruby and rails were working.

When I attempted to install mongrel via:
sudo gem install mongrel

I get this error:

Install required dependency daemons? [Yn]  y
Install required dependency gem_plugin? [Yn]  y
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
can't find header files for ruby.
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-
0.3.11 for inspection.
  ruby extconf.rb install mongrel\n

How should I resolve this?

Thanks,
ruby-devel intalled.
But mongrel couldn't find rdoc.  It runs, just no docs.  Here is the error
message.  I thought rdoc was include in ruby.   Anyways, here is the error
message.

Would people find it helpful to have a set of "platform specific
blockers/solutions" document for things like this?  Debian has similar
niggling little things like this.

Thoughts on what would be required?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'blockers/solutions', but I would be
nice to
have an easy to find installation guide that would cover specifics on
various platforms. Is this something that should be put into the wiki?
