RubyGem Local

[Daniel Pimentel]

Guix,

I did a hack to RubyGem (Rails and other ruby packages) work on GuixSD:

echo 'export GEM_HOME="$HOME/.gem"' >> ~.bashrc
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$GEM_HOME/bin"' ~.bashrc

Is correct?

Are there better soluction for it?

Thanks,

This is a fine way to do things. It's pretty much exactly what I do at
work in my hybrid development environment where I use Guix to provide
Ruby and other "system" libraries, and gem to provide all the Ruby
stuff.
