There are basically three possibilities let us say your library is here:
/lib/mylibs/mylibrary.rb
(1)
setting the variable
export RUBYLIB="/lib/mylibs/${RUBYLIB:-""}"
(2)
using a command line option
ruby -I/lib/mylib myprog.rb
(3)
adjust your $: inside your ruby program
$:.unshift File.join( %w{ /lib mylib } )
