ID3Lib 0.5.0 problems installing on FreeBSD

Gems is not finding my id3.h file which is clearly inside of /usr/
local/include/id3.h. When I try to install I get the following
message:

sudo gem install id3lib-ruby

You must have id3lib installed in order to use id3lib-ruby.

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.

Provided configuration options:

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
id3lib-ruby-0.5.0 for inspection.

I printed out the log and I get:

You could try libmtag instead.
http://code.google.com/p/libmtag/

I created that project so if you have any problems I’ll be glad to help
you.

Cheers.

I will definately check it out. I was using mp3info before id3lib but
it was unreliable. ID3Lib produces the best results thusfar, but if
your library works better I would be glad to use this one over any
alternatives. I will let you know how it goes!

btw, i figured it out. My comments on this page should help anyone
that runs into this problem in the future:
