Good to know Thanks.

I was hoping someone could clarify where gems puts stuff as compared
to apt. Also, it seemed like part of my original problem was that gem
claimed to have installed what I asked it to, but did not. Or am I not
done after #gem install something --remote , Or maybe it was just a
fluke and the source of the problem was that missing
active_record/connection_adapters/oracle_adapter.rb that the
install.rb referenced that caused the whole thing to bomb.

Nonetheless, I'm happy to have had access to the source so I can patch
locally if necessary with no threat of being slapped with some silly
DMCA violation.

GO OpenSource!!!!!
