The ebuild writer hardcoded ruby version 1.6 in here, so when you update ruby to 1.8 it breaks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ruby version 1.8 2. emerge ruby-dbi 3. ruby -wle'require "dbi"' Actual Results: -e:1:in `require': No such file to load -- dbi (LoadError) from -e:1 Expected Results: load dbi Below is a patch for the ebuild. It works for me, but I dont' really know how the ebuilds should be laid out. You might need to fix it: --- ruby-dbi-0.0.18.ebuild.old 2004-03-30 05:50:30.296422968 -0800 +++ ruby-dbi-0.0.18.ebuild 2004-03-30 06:02:38.692689904 -0800 @@ -10,8 +10,9 @@ SLOT="0" KEYWORDS="x86" IUSE="firebird odbc postgres mysql" +VERSION=$(ruby -e'print VERSION[/\d+\.\d+/]') -DEPEND="=dev-lang/ruby-1.6* +DEPEND=">=dev-lang/ruby-1.6* mysql?

I made a patch and applied it to fix the problem. Thanks for reporting. (FYI, you shouldn't write >=dev-lang/ruby-1.6* but >=dev-lang/ruby-1.6. Please see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ebuild-mistakes.xml for more detail)
