It seems like you uninstalled rubygems and did not make a note of the informational messages printed by emerge.
(In reply to comment #1) > It seems like you uninstalled rubygems and did not make a note of the > informational messages printed by emerge. No I did not uninstall rubygems. This is a fresh Gentoo install and rubygems has never been installed.
Did you copy anything in /etc/ from an old installation? If no, provide the output of: * emerge -pv ruby rubygems * ls /etc/env.d * ruby -rrbconfig -rpp -e 'pp Config::CONFIG; pp $:'
Sorry, I had to continue building the affected system (dead-line was too close). This changed a lot of configuration files. I have tried to reproduce the problem, but did not succeed. I suppose the problem appeared after interrupting and resuming an emerge process of several selected packages. Indeed, I copied some contents of an old installation into /etc. But I guess, those files should not be able to procude that error. I have copied package.use, locale.gen, make.conf and several files from /etc/package.keywords.

At any rate, the situation you describe cannot happen without external influence. The package that introduces auto_gem also provides it. You copied stuff in /etc, you might just as well have hit the files that make ruby try to load auto_gem.

I will reopen if I find a way to reproduce the problem. Thank you for your assistance.
