Hi Rickard, I tried it on my system and it seems to work fine without manually providing include and lib paths. From what I can see, it uses pkg-config to detect CFLAGS and LDFLAGS (I could be wrong here though because I'm not familiar with Ruby). Could you please check if you have this working: $ pkg-config --libs --cflags libvirt -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lvirt $ If that does not work, could you please describe how did you do the libvirt installation on your system? Thanks, Roman Bogorodskiy
