+1  Q: 

what packages do I need to install on Ubuntu to get ruby-opengl to compile?

I am trying to use the ruby-opengl package, when I install it the compliler complains that it cannot find the correct header files. What Ubuntu packages (9.10) do I need to make this work?

+1  A: 

libopengl-ruby1.8 and libopengl-ruby1.9 have both been in ubuntu's universe repository since Hardy (8.04). Is there a reason you absolutely must compile from source? If so, you could try running sudo aptitude build-dep libopengl-ruby1.9 or sudo aptitude build-dep libopengl-ruby1.8. That ought to grab the packages you need.
