Subject: Re: rubygems local install

Hi Jeremy,

Setting RUBYLIB was the piece I've been missing, thanks for the
insight.

Ken,

I tried the system rubygems.  However, I have some ruby scripts that
needed to start on boot and this caused grief as they kept failing when
they looked only in standard rubygem dir and didn't find the rubygems I
installed as local user.

By setting PATH, GEM_HOME *and* RUBYLIB in my boot scripts they
correctly locate my local user ruby gems.

Many thanks,

Andy Koch
