"pkg_add ruby18-ldap" should install ruby18-base not ruby18.  If
wip/ruby-ldap install ruby18 as depending package, it should be fixed
to depend on ruby18-base.  (I don't think ruby-ldap depends on ruby18-base.)

ruby18-base	Minimum ruby 1.8.x package.
ruby18		Contains whole Ruby 1.8.x release's contents.
ruby		Give commands without "18".

This separation was supporting multiple version of Rubys, such as
1.6.x and 1.8.x, though there is single version of Ruby package
currently.
