this brings me to the question: what are you trying to do with mkmf?
abusing one of the helper functions ;), i.e. find_executable(). I did not want to iterate over everything in PATH manually and aiming for something that is not linux specific. (In reply to Marcus R�ckert from comment #7)
mkmf == make makefile. yes mkmf has some nice helper functions which might be useful outside of the scope of creating makefiles for ruby extensions, but in general you can consider those provide to the library. given the scope of mkmf, expecting it only to work when the devel files are around a given. that's why I say if we change anything, then we move the that library to the devel package.
I would agree that my use case is kinda on the fringe side. Thought I wanted to try a bit more to convince you. I am okay close, if that did not work out ;) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
