*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may
need configuration options.
Provided configuration options:
--with-opt-dir
--with-opt-include
--without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
--with-opt-lib
--without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
--with-make-prog
--without-make-prog
--srcdir=.
--curdir
--ruby=/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.1.2_3/bin/ruby
--with-libvirt-include
--without-libvirt-include
--with-libvirt-lib
--without-libvirt-lib
--with-libvirt-config
--without-libvirt-config
--with-pkg-config
--without-pkg-config
extconf.rb:73:in `<main>': libvirt library not found in default locations (RuntimeError)
extconf failed, exit code 1
so then I passed the locations of include & lib directories as the configuration options:
gem install ruby-libvirt -- --with-libvirt-include=/usr/local/Cellar/libvirt/1.2.7/include --with-libvirt-lib=/usr/local/Cellar/libvirt/1.2.7/lib
which worked, but it's not very clean and effective solution, especially if you have ruby-libvirt as a requirement in your Gemfile and you need to install it via Bundler.
I reckon that a possible solution would be to change Homebrew formula, so that it either installs or symlinks both dirs into locations where ruby-libvirt will look for it, but what's the default location actually?
