[ruby-core:47283] [ruby-trunk - Bug #6906][Rejected] cannot load such file -- rubygems.rb (LoadError)

Issue #6906 has been updated by drbrain (Eric Hodel).

Status changed from Open to Rejected

If you did not install ruby but could run ruby programs you were using a previously installed ruby standard library.  This behavior has existed since at least ruby 1.8.

If you would like to run the compiled ruby and standard library use `make runruby`.

If you would like to run benchmarks use `make benchmark`.

Last I checked, vim did not follow this un-written rule either.  Like ruby, vim needs files installed into the expected runtime locations.

Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30) [i686-linux]


After 1.9.3 compilation, I cannot run ./ruby from compilation directory. I have to do make install to make it work.

I would like you to reopen ticket http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4941 concerning this bug. I call it a bug, because it never occurred prior to 1.9.3.
It also breaks non-written rule of UNIX programs running after compilation. It sounds just stupid to me to install it after every recompilation, in order to benchmark my changes.
