i am on fedora

here is what about said about build-essential:

Definition: build-essential: Informational list of build-essential packages If you do not plan to build Debian packages, you don't need this package. Moreover this package is not required for building Debian packages. This package contains an informational list of packages which are considered essential for building Debian packages.

is gem dependent on debian?
