Odd mock build problem

[Jason L Tibbitts III <tibbs math uh edu>]

I'm trying to build the submitted ruby-http-access2 package in mock:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179940
http://roughbook.de/fedora/ruby-http-access2-2.0.6-4.src.rpm
http://roughbook.de/fedora/ruby-http-access2.spec


Unfortunately I can't build on i386 or x86_64, FC4 or development.  A
build outside of mock works fine.  The failed builds don't get as far
as completely setting up the root; the end of root.log is:

/sbin/runuser -c 'rpm -Uvh --nodeps
/builddir/build/originals/ruby-http-access2-2.0.6-4.src.rpm' mockbuild
ruby-http-access2           warning: user tibbs does not exist - using
root

Done.

The full log is at http://www.math.uh.edu/~tibbs/rpms/ruby-http-access2/root.log

My guess is that mock is trying to determine the BuildRequires:, but
it can't generate the srpm because of these statements at the top of
the spec:

%{!?ruby_sitelib: %define ruby_sitelib %(ruby -rrbconfig -e "puts
%Config::CONFIG['sitedir']")}
%{!?ruby_sitearch: %define ruby_sitearch %(ruby -rrbconfig -e "puts
%Config::CONFIG['sitearchdir']")}

ruby isn't installed as part of the base environment.

I wonder if my mock setup isn't messed up somehow.  Could someone else
try a quick mock build?
