You don't have the libruby package installed. Install that first and the others
should install as well. The following error:

 libruby = 1.6.2 is needed by ruby-1.6.2-4

Means that it needs at least the libruby-1.6.2 package installed to fulfill
dependancies.

Comment 2 Dimitri Papadopoulos 2001-05-02 05:44:28 UTC
My error, sorry. But why do you have a separate libruby? Why is this package
different from
python for example? And why nit a ruby-lib package? sorry for all these
questions.

Dimitri



Comment 3 Dimitri Papadopoulos 2001-05-02 05:48:32 UTC
Yes, really sorry for being so talkative. I did find a pythonlib package.

The ruby package should be called rubylib as well to be consistent,
shouldn't it? It's also easier to find when installing.
