 Hello, Havard.
 
 Thanks for messing around with the Ruby package, to see if it can be
 upgraded.  I'm hoping it can be fixed without a great deal of trouble.

 I compiled the ruby21 package with no trouble at all -- didn't have to
 change anything.  Can't say what will happen if you compile
 ruby21-base.
 
 However, the "can't find ...gdbm... " business is frequent on adding a
 new ruby version, and I was rather expecting to encounter a problem
 compiling ruby21, -- but I didn't.  So I recommended closing PR 48509
 based on that.
 
 The work-around I did to compile ruby19 and ruby200 (before the fix)
 was essentially what you did.  I dunno.
 
 These are the two PR's on the earlier ruby's.  They're both closed now:
 
 46420  Building for ruby19 ends with "can't find ruby19-gdbm>=1.9.2pl320"
 
 48509  Building for ruby200 ends with "can't find ruby200-gdbm>=2.0.0p353"
 
 Yours,
 
 -Mike
