Hi Rickard,

I tried it on my system and it seems to work fine without manually
providing include and lib paths.

could be wrong here though because I'm not familiar with Ruby).

Could you please check if you have this working:

$ pkg-config --libs --cflags libvirt
-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lvirt
$

If that does not work, could you please describe how did you do the
libvirt installation on your system?

Thanks,
