Hi,

thank you for the fast reply.
The installation seems to be more complicated than anticipated.
After having installed ruby.xx-dev as suggested  extconf.rb is still not 
satisfied.
I have now the following console protocol:

PC4:~/Installations/GTK/Cairo/rcairo-1.10.0# ruby extconf.rb
extconf.rb:16: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/local in PATH, 
mode 042777
===================================>>What does that mean?

*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:
        --with-opt-dir
        --without-opt-dir
        --with-opt-include
        --without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
        --with-opt-lib
        --without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
        --with-make-prog
        --without-make-prog
        --srcdir=.
        --curdir
        --ruby=/usr/bin/ruby1.8
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in 
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- pkg-config (LoadError)
===================================>>What does that mean?

        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
        from extconf.rb:13
