Aha!  You have proved that I chose my regexp poorly.  Here's what I  
tried:

input.gsub(%r{^.*/usr/local/lib/.*$}i, '')

The difference is that yours consumes the new line character but mine  
doesn't.  I should have just matched it explicitly like you rather  
than using an anchor.

Thanks and regards,
