Luckily the old <st.h> still works on later version (albeit with a warning). I fixed that, and also added a compatibility hack in the Rakefile that allows it to build on ruby 1.8. With both of those in place, I'm now able to build on CentOS-6.4. I've pushed these compatibility hacks to the main ruby-libvirt repository. At the moment, I'm not planning to put out a new release for this minor fix. Dominic, if you really want this in an official release, let me know and I can do a 0.5.1. Otherwise I'll just let you handle it when building a package for RHEL-6/CentOS-6. Thanks again for the bug report.
