Hey. I am CC:ing rock-dev as I really would like the rock users to be 
aware of the status of Rock/orocos-toolchain on fedora

You would hit the same problem with ruby 2.0.

The issue you are hitting is that (1) the fedora support in autoproj 
osdeps is in a beta state and (2) the osdeps are unmaintained as nobody 
uses Rock on fedora.

One way to resolve it quickly is for you to bootstrap on ruby 1.9 and 
answer only 'ruby' to the 'which osdeps do you want autoproj to install' 
question. You will have to install the fedora packages manually, but at 
least it is going to work fine.

In the long run, if you want to help adding the proper osdeps entries to 
autoproj/orocos-toolchain so that it bootstraps fine on fedora, I am 
more than willing to help (but then, let's do it in private ...)

On the ruby 2.0 support, the problem you have with utilrb is going to be 
only the tip of the iceberg. There are other incompatibilities. I've 
started testing the toolchain on ruby 2.0, but 2.0 has bugs (which are 
getting fixed, but anyways)
