pid 24321 (ruby18), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space

I guess ruby used too much memory for my system.

Yes, for some reason generating the Ruby documentation takes a great deal of RAM, and may run very slowly on machines without enough of it. There is probably an option in the ports' Makefile to disable building the docs; check pkg-mesg...?

You might also consider adding more RAM to the system in question; it will help performance for other tasks.
