Subject: Re: Can't install rubygems

gems / ruby is broken on gentoo!
pity that. gentoo people on their forums say its not a portage error
but a strange error in combination glibc-2.3 autoconf-2.61 and ruby.
on the other hand gentoo users have no problem in installing ruby +
gems by hand.

look here (and no, it's not solved):

mad world.
