Description Sven Schwyn (svoop) 2009-05-06 21:39:58 UTC 
The path to the global gemrc file is hardcoded as "/etc" here...

Ruby 1.8 with rubygems-1.3.1:
{$EPREFIX}/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/config_file.rb (line 44)

Ruby 1.9.1:
{$EPREFIX}/usr/lib/ruby19/1.9.1/rubygems/config_file.rb (line 44)

> rescue LoadError
>   '/etc'
> end

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
This hardcoded "/etc" will cause trouble if the patch suggested in bug #268857 is adopted.

hmmm, does this mean ruby-1.9 includes rubygems?
Comment 2 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2009-06-14 08:51:06 UTC 
I fixed it for rubygems-1.3.3 now
Comment 3 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2009-06-14 09:07:26 UTC 
ruby 1.9.1 doesn't compile for me, so I can't fix it.

The ruby stuff has recently undergone some churn in gentoo. Please re-open with specific details if there is still a problem. Thanks for understanding.
