With this line in, ruby doesn't compile. No errors or anything, nothing
seems wrong at all - except that at the end of make there is no `ruby'
binary. Also related is that I had it pointed to a ruby file in the
lib/ruby directory, in which it was to require a script in
ENV['HOME']/.rubyrc and during the compile there was an error that
the the path ENV['HOME']/.rubyrc resulted in (and this error gave the
exact path) did not exist - which it did. What is strange about this is
that the compile shouldn't have read the script, right? I thought the
above line told ruby to read /home/julian/.rubyrc upon ruby's starting up.

This isn't particularly important though, and I agree that ruby doesn't
need an init script.
