ruby-frontbase doesn't compile on Mac OS X version 10.5

Hi,
When trying to compile ruby-frontbase version 1.0.1 on a G5 PPC
machine, I get this:

# gem install ruby-frontbase
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Gem files will remain installed in /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/ruby-
frontbase-1.0.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/ruby-frontbase-1.0.1/

Does anyone a) how to fix this and/or b) whom I should contact about
getting the gem to work under Leopard?

Thanks.

In case anyone's interested, here's how I got it to install:

1. Download the gem source (ruby-frontbase-src-1.0.1.tgz) from http://rubyforge.org
(http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1635&release_id=5201).

2. Do the following:

tar xzf ruby-frontbase-src-1.0.1.tgz

cd ruby-frontbase

<edit frontbase.c so that lines 23-63 are commented out>

gem build ruby-frontbase.gemspec

sudo gem install ruby-frontbase
