Excerpt from extconf.rb from bindings/ruby: find_header('notmuch.h', '../../lib') find_library('notmuch', 'notmuch_database_create', '../../lib') Two problems here: 1. The library must be built before the bindings are built otherwise the installed version is used. However the installed version should never be used (or must be made a non-default option somehow) 2. The library must be built in the source tree. Out-of-source tree builds will cause extconf.rb to look for the installed version too. Not sure whether this is a major concern because I don't know whether out-of-tree builds are supported by the build system. Having said that, I will try to have a look at solving these issues this weekend. Unfortunately I can't make promises because real-life is killing all my time lately. -alip
