When trying to emerge dev-ruby/gherkin without jeweler and rspec installed it complains and won't emerge. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do not have dev-ruby/jeweler and dev-ruby/rspec installed 2. emerge =dev-ruby/gherkin-1.0.30 3.

It looks like rspec is unconditionally loaded as part of the build system, so we do need this at build time. I also added a missing dependency on rake-compiler. Jeweler is optional, so I have not added it as a dependency. Should be fixed now in gherkin 1.0.30. Thanks for reporting.
