Why libsasl2-dev and not libsasl2? #164

Closed jeffblake closed 3 years ago

jeffblake commented 8 years ago

I'm trying to install this gem on Heroku, but its failing because libsasl2-dev is not installed. I tried installinglibsasl2-dev via a buildpack, but Heroku is not liking it. Heroku has libsasl2 installed, so I was wondering why this depends on libsasl2-dev and if libsasl2 could be supported instead.

to compile the native exentions you need the development headers afaik which are mostly packaged into -dev packages.
