Subject: Re: installing ruby on MacOS X

Not sure if this is a darwinports or a rubygems problem:

After an install of darwinports, I installed ruby +preview and rb-rubygems.

Unfortunately,
$ gem help
did not work, complaining about an invalid path to the ruby interpreter.

I found that the path to the ruby interpreter specified in

/opt/local/bin/gem
/opt/local/bin/gem_server
/opt/local/bin/update_rubygems

were all bogus. Instead of pointing to /opt/local/bin/ruby, they were
pointing to my somewhere deep inside the original darwinports source
installation directory outside the /opt/local subtree.

I manually patched the files and things appear to be working.
Anyone know how to go about getting the fix in?

TIA
Steven Marcus
