If there is no libruby.so symlink, the configure stage of krossruby fails. Generally, the output of "ruby -rrbconfig -e 'puts RbConfig::CONFIG["RUBY_SO_NAME"]'" should be taken as the name (that will look like "ruby18"), and not just "ruby". In this particular case, krossruby does not seem to be compatible to Ruby 1.9. Thus, please depend explicitly on dev-lang/ruby-1.8* and build against libruby18.so (as shown in krossruby's README). This will also fix the first issue in one go. Thanks!

Created attachment 219941 [details] Rubified version of the ebuild. I made a "rubified" version of the ebuild, which now uses the ruby-ng eclass and builds correctly without the symlink. It builds and installs fine, but I cannot test the functionality, so please give feedback. It should be trivial to switch this ebuild to ruby-1.9 (just change the USE_RUBY setting), however, it can not support two or more concurrently installed ruby engines at the moment.
Still valid for krossruby-4.4.1 The attached ebuild also still works without modifications.
*** Bug 308185 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
The attached ebuild is now in the kde overlay as kde-base/krossruby-4.4.1-r1. Note that it is still incompatible with ruby-1.9. At least with ruby-1.8 it should work out of the box now, though.
Fixed in 4.4.2.
