Yep, I ran in to problems trying to use the guix ruby-2.3 package with
the guix bundler package, when I build bundler with ruby-2.3.
Ben's email got me thinking about how this works in Debian, and it looks
like Debian uses a different location /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/ .
I think there might be benefits from doing similarly, but this needs a
bit of thought and testing, as I'm unsure how this might work,
especially in cases where libraries include native code that links
against ruby.
I've got a patch for the ruby-build-system to make a change roughly like
this, and I'll send that up soon. Relating this back to the issue at
hand, moving to a version independent directory would mean that the
GEM_PATH wouldn't be version specific.
Thanks,
Chris
