Subject: [ruby-core:52594] [ruby-trunk - Bug #7860] Passing --libdir to ./configure causes Gem.ruby to point to an incorrect ruby interpreter path


Issue #7860 has been updated by drbrain (Eric Hodel).


I don't know enough about autoconf to understand the fix.

I don't believe it will cause any problems with RubyGems though.
----------------------------------------
Bug #7860: Passing --libdir to ./configure causes Gem.ruby to point to an incorrect ruby interpreter path
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7860#change-36684

Author: cwgem (Chris White)
Status: Assigned
Priority: Normal
Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)
Category: build
Target version: 2.0.0
ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2013-02-16 trunk 39262) [x86_64-linux]


How I reproduce:

------------------------------------
# git clone git://github.com/ruby/ruby.git
# autoreconf
# ./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib64
# make clean && make && make install
# /usr/local/bin/ruby -e 'puts Gem.ruby'
/bin/ruby
------------------------------------

The problem is how topdir is set with `tool/mkconfig.rb`. This is a diff between `./configure` and `./configure --libdir=/usr/local/lib64`:

Notice how topdir changes. I think this might have been caused by the `tool/mkconfig.rb` changes here:
