Problem with Ruby GEM w/ native code

[Darryl L. Pierce]

I'm hoping to get a little help with this. If this is the wrong list to
discuss packaging issues, please point me to the appropriate list.

I'm trying to package a Ruby GEM (RedCloth) for Fedora. I used gem2rpm
to generate the initial spec file. When I build it, things seem to go
fine until the very end. At that point I see this:

error: Bad exit status from
/home/mcpierce/Packaging/rpms/tmp/rpm-tmp.PEH4Wm (%install)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from
/home/mcpierce/Packaging/rpms/tmp/rpm-tmp.PEH4Wm (%install)

I'm building with the commandline:

rpmbuild -ba --rebuild rubygem-RedCloth.spec

And the spec file is listed below:

---8<[snip]---
# Generated from RedCloth-4.1.9.gem by gem2rpm -*- rpm-spec -*-
%define ruby_sitelib %(ruby -rrbconfig -e "puts Config::CONFIG['sitelibdir']")
%define gemdir %(ruby -rubygems -e 'puts Gem::dir' 2>/dev/null)
%define gemname RedCloth
%define geminstdir %{gemdir}/gems/%{gemname}-%{version}
