I think you should not force the installation of xapian-ruby when using xapian-db. This makes the bundler process painfully slow and it is not required when xapian is already installed on the system. I would like to use http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew to install xapian and not the delivered xapian-ruby.

remove this line from `xapian_db.gemspec`

```ruby
s.add_dependency "xapian-ruby", ">= 1.2.6"
```

The users who want to install xapian-ruby can still put the following in the Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'xapian-ruby'
gem 'xapian_db'
```

If you still want to keep the "oneline-gem-depdencendy" in your Gemfile you can always create a "meta-gem" which has a dependency on `xapian-ruby` and `xapian_db`
