Hmmm... strange.

Well, in the interest of getting Piero working, let's remove those  
dependencies.

Piero, from your shell type 'port edit ruby'. This will open a copy  
of your locally stored portfile for ruby. Look for the line starting  
with "depends_lib" and change it to look like the following:

depends_lib   port:libiconv \
         port:readline \
         port:openssl \
         port:zlib


Save the file and try to do your install again. Hopefully it will work.
