There is definitely something in teh building of ruby (I beleive in
the test part), looks like it does a complete disk scanning (to find
possible libraries?) during that period when it seems to be idled,
disk are being accessed like carzy.

Anyway, after a night at it, it finally installs :)

Bests,
