Hint: stick collision-protect to your FEATURES ;) What should be the solution for this? Rename either grass' gem or rubygems' gem, or block each other?

Only the grass62 startup script remains in /usr/bin. Since Grass tries to manage its own environment, ie, the above Grass bin directory should *not* be in your path, the Ruby gem binary should always be found first. |
After installing the new version of grass, I was surprised to see that the command 'gem' (from ruby) was not responding the way it did before. Of course, since it had been replaced by another program from grass. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge dev-ruby/rubygems 2. emerge sci-geosciences/grass 3. equery b /usr/bin/gem Actual Results: > equery b /usr/bin/gem [ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/gem in *... ] sci-geosciences/grass-6.2.0 (/usr/bin/gem) dev-ruby/rubygems-0.9.0-r2 (/usr/bin/gem) Expected Results: well, I expect to have the 2 programs at different places or with a different name.
