Apparently the makefile > generator depends on something called "mkmf" mkmf comes with your Ruby: it's a Makefile maker. The standard procedure is: % ruby extconf.rb if this succeeds % make % make install The ICB library you mentioned needs libicq. A quick google search shows it is currently up to version 0.33-3. You'll need to install this before running the extconf.rb stuff. Regards Dave
