The exact error is a clear indication of using ruby 1.9 while expecting 1.8 api: cc -I. -I/usr/include/ruby-1.9.0/x86_64-linux -I/usr/include/ruby-1.9.0 -I/var/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/ruby-glib2-0.16.0-r3/work/ruby-gnome2-all-0.16.0/glib/src -DHAVE_RB_DEFINE_ALLOC_FUNC -DHAVE_RB_BLOCK_PROC -DHAVE_OBJECT_ALLOCATE -DHAVE_G_THREAD_INIT -DHAVE_G_MAIN_DEPTH -DHAVE_G_LISTENV -DHAVE_RB_CHECK_ARRAY_TYPE -DHAVE_RB_EXEC_RECURSIVE -DRUBY_GLIB2_COMPILATION -I/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.0/x86_64-linux -fPIC -O2 -march=nocona -pipe -fPIC -Wall -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -pthread -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -o rbglib_iochannel.o -c rbglib_iochannel.c rbglib_iochannel.c: In function ‘ioc_read_line’: rbglib_iochannel.c:250: error: ‘struct RString’ has no member named ‘len’ rbglib_iochannel.c: In function ‘ioc_gets’: rbglib_iochannel.c:288: error: ‘struct RString’ has no member named ‘len’ rbglib_iochannel.c: In function ‘ioc_set_line_term’: ...
