Amarok ebuild cannot find ruby

Recently I tried to install amarok on a fresh system and after build i couldn’t find amarok executable file!
>>> media-sound/amarok-1.4.10 merged.
>>> Recording media-sound/amarok in “world” favorites file…
After small sniffing I found in the middle of a build log following errors:

checking for ruby… /usr/bin/ruby
/usr/bin/ruby: no such file to load — auto_gem (LoadError)
/usr/bin/ruby: no such file to load — auto_gem (LoadError)
checking ruby.h usability… no
checking ruby.h presence… no
checking for ruby.h… no

checking if amarok should be compiled… no

=
= The Ruby programming language is not installed. Please obtain Ruby
= (version 1.8 or later) from http://ruby-lang.org, or install a distribution
= package. To build Amarok requires the Ruby header files as well, which some
= distributions package separately.

===  AMAROK WILL NOT BE BUILT
=
= Some mandatory dependencies are either not installed or not installed
= correctly. See the Amarok README for help with this issue. Further assistance
= can be found at http://amarok.kde.org or in amarok on irc.freenode.net.
= You will still be able to build other modules from extragear/multimedia.
=

Obviously I had ruby installed as it is amarok dependency.
I had no time to look into this, but quick sollution is to
emerge rubygems

Unable to update-eix

Reading Portage settings ..
Building database (/var/cache/eix) ..
[0] “gentoo” /usr/portage/ (cache: metadata-flat)
Reading 50%terminate called after throwing an instance of ‘std::out_of_range’
what(): basic_string::compare

This is a bug in eix which has already been fixed in 0.13.5 version. So all you have to do is to update to that version (it’s still masked).

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=”~x86″ emerge =eix-0.13.5 -av


In case you want to patch your version by yourself patch is avaible here.
