It was missing ruby1.8-dev, and couldn't find mkmf (a standard ruby lib). Stupid packaging bites me again. Sorry. Hehe, never mind.

I have installed graphviz (and libraries) on ubuntu 8.04, and then installed the ruby-graphviz gem, but when I do: rake state_machine:draw:rails CLASS=Entry it always returns: Cannot draw the machine. `gem install ruby-graphviz` and try again. Is there any way to get a more comprehensive error message so I can debug the issue? Is this something that's been seen before? Thanks.

Does attr_protected :state_event do the trick for protection? Might be a good idea to point this out in the documentation since states are things that in my experience usually belong to the non mass assignable side of a model.
