It's where it should be:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/ftools.rb
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.7/ftools.rb

If my $RUBYLIB is not the empty string, there is no problem.

$ export RUBYLIB="."
$ ruby -r ftools -e 'p $:'
[".", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.7", 
"/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.7/i686-linux", 
"/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby", "/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.7", 
"/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.7/i686-linux", "."]

This is not a problem for me, since I can just 'unset RUBYLIB', but it's 
a bit surprising.
