Thanks. Very helpful. And it worked like a champ on my f6.

I had the same problem on FC6 with ‘gem install rmagick’ throwing off lots of errors when trying to generate documentation. Turns out it was looking for TrueType fonts in /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType. I worked around this by making sure corefonts (http://corefonts.sf.net) was installed and then:
# cd /usr/share/fonts/default
# ln -s ../msttcorefonts TrueType
then re-running ‘gem install rmagick’ which ran to completion with no errors. My rmagick scripts now work fine without having to rebuild anything else. I don’t love the symlink solution, but it’s straightforward and does work for me with the FC6 versions of ruby, ImageMagick[-devel], etc.

rpm -e ruby libruby error: package libruby is not installed

This line does nothing for me. Do you mean to execute this line with “libruby” replaced by each of the rpms listed by the command
rpm -qa | grep ruby

ruby-ri-1.8.5.2-1.fc6 ruby-mysql-2.7.1-2.fc6 ruby-docs-1.8.5.2-1.fc6 ruby-libs-1.8.5.2-1.fc6 ruby-irb-1.8.5.2-1.fc6 subversion-ruby-1.4.2-2.fc6 ruby-1.8.5.2-1.fc6 rubygems-0.9.1-1.fc6 ruby-mode-1.8.5.2-1.fc6 ruby-devel-1.8.5.2-1.fc6 ruby-rdoc-1.8.5.2-1.fc6
