This is a wrapper module of Shapefile C Library for Ruby. Originally authored by prasinos@users.sourceforge.net.

• Install the shapelib C library with your Unix package management system.
• It is expected to run on all ruby-running environments. But it is tested only on RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.0 and Vine Linux 3.0.

Install MacPorts. Use it to install the shapelib C library:

sudo port install shapelib

Now install the Rubygem:

gem install shapelib

• I have shapelib installed but the build fails

  Try --with-shapelib-include= and --with-shapelib-lib= options: gem install shapelib -- --with-shapelib-include=...
