When you compile from source then the development files (header and
pkg-config files) have been installed by "make install" too.

Maybe you configured libvirt with custom prefix and the ruby-libvirt
build can't find them because of this. I just tested it with the
default prefix (/usr/local) for libvirt and it works for me.
