Yes, but that value does not reflect RubyGems style on my system:

  >> Config::CONFIG['datadir']
  => "/usr/share"

  >> `gem env`.lines.grep(/install/i)
  => ["  - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1\n"]

It needs to reflect both styles to work correctly under either one.

I am using RubyGems 1.3.6 with Ruby 1.9.1p378 on i686-linux.
