Description Wes 2008-07-29 04:01:41 UTC 
It seems the ruby 1.8.6 ebuild from stable places it's headers in "/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux/" instead of under "/usr/include/ruby-1.8.6" like hand-compiling from source does.  Is this intentional?  If so, why??


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
emerge =dev-lang/ruby-1.8.6
Actual Results:  
header files end up under /usr/lib instead of /usr/include

Expected Results:  
header files join the rest of the header file family under /usr/include

I cannot reproduce this.

From a quick glance around, this seems to be the actual behaviour in 1.8, Ruby 1.9.1 does install the headers correctly into /usr/include.

If you can provide a patch, please reopen this bug, in the meantime I'm closing this as cantfix.
