Well,
$ rpm -qp --provides ruby-libs-1.8.5-5.el5_2.6.i386.rpm 2>/dev/null | grep abi
ruby(abi) = 1.8

Well, actually I don't know well about RHEL's policy (I don't have
RHEL or CentOS), however for this I will leave it to you.

Ah, actually this is a bug in RHEL ImageMagick (6.2.8.0-4.el5_1.1),
/usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.2.8/config/type.xml contains
<include file="type-windows.xml" /> , this is the culprit.
(I just remembered that with Fedora 7 or 8 ImageMagick ruby-RMagick
 htmldoc didn't build due to the same reason...)
Perhaps RHEL won't update ImageMagick due to this reason, so
for now I will accept --without-htmldoc

Okay.

Please add ruby(abi) dependency.
