ok so check this out:

pry(main)> require 'mkmf'
=> true
pry(main)> CONFIG['sitedir']
=> "$(libdir)/ruby/site_ruby"
pry(main)> CONFIG['libdir']
=> "$(exec_prefix)/lib"
pry(main)> CONFIG['exec_prefix']
=> "$(prefix)"
pry(main)> CONFIG['prefix']
=> "/home/serialhex/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p352"
pry(main)> CONFIG['prefix'] = '/foo/bar'
=> "/foo/bar"
pry(main)> Config::expand CONFIG['sitedir']
=> "/home/serialhex/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p352/lib/ruby/site_ruby"
pry(main)> CONFIG['prefix']
=> "/foo/bar"

why when i change CONFIG['prefix'] to '/foo/bar' does it not
change Config::expand CONFIG['sitedir'] to "/foo/bar/lib/ruby/site_ruby"???
 and how would i get it to do that?
