[libvirt] ruby-libvirt on debian based systems

["Tom Verhaeghe" <pietjeprik@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

I don't know if ruby-libvirt can work in a debian-based environment.  I installed kvm, libvirt, RoR, etc on Ubuntu and it all works fine. 

I pasted the output when installing the gem below.  I think the problem could be that libvirt is called differently in Ubuntu or stored on a different location.  Is there a way to get around?

Thanks in advance

Tom
