Installing ruby_opencv gem results in cannot find opencv_contrib error

William Jones asked in Gems / Libraries

I am trying to install the ruby_opencv gem but it can't find opencv_contrib. I used the command 'gem install ruby-opencv -- --with-opencv-dir=/mnt/c/Users/wjones/sites/musclesound-rails/opencv/my_build_dir' which is where is loaded opencv. I have done some google searches but I can't find anything that helps. I am using Ruby 2.5.3 and Rails 5.2.4.3. The mkmf.log contains the following,

have_library: checking for -lopencv_contrib... -------------------- no

The output from the install is as follows,

Any help you could give would be great.
