ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2010-01-11 patchlevel 388) [x86_64-linux]
Comment 1 Balint Dobai-Pataky 2010-08-04 05:40:47 UTC 
downgrading to rubygems-1.3.7 resolves the problem.
Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-04 13:26:26 UTC 
Got that reported as well, seems like RUBY_DESCRIPTION was added in 1.8.7, fixing with an -r3.
Comment 3 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-08-04 13:47:19 UTC 
fixed in -r3.
