Subject: [ruby-core:17282] 'make install' installs files that reference other files that aren't installed

There are a bunch of hardcoded paths that point at /usr/bin/ruby.   
The default install location is /usr/local/bin/ruby.  Writing a  
standard spec file for turning a ruby tarball into an rpm doesn't  
work because the rpm requires /usr/bin/ruby, which isn't installed.

It would be nice if the ./configure, make, make install resulted in  
an internally consistent install that didn't reference things it was  
missing.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for gripes like that, but I  
figured I'd start somewhere and see where people directed me.
