I've checked out kdenonbeta and built libkcanvas now. It looks like you need 
to link against libkcanvasdevice and libkdecore too. And I think you will 
need to include the header for KRendingDevice from kcanvas/device as it is 
used in the KCanvas constructor.

You may need to add custom marshallers for converting C++ lists to ruby ones 
and back too.

In kalyptus/kalyptusCXXtoSmoke.pm there is this line which defines the header 
subdirectories (it shouldn't really be hard coded like this):

$headerSubdirectories = 
"kio/|kdevelop/|kinterfacedesigner/|kontact/|kate/|kparts/|dom/|kabc/|ksettings/|kjs/|ktexteditor/|kdeprint/|kdesu/|knewstuff/"

You could add 'kcanvas/device|kcanvas|' to the front of that, so you don't 
need to add '-I' include paths for them in the Makefile.am.
