Subject: Apache 2 and mod_ruby and ruby 1.7.3 .... almost got it!

OK.  It's all working, except that mod_ruby starts with it's $LOAD_PATH
variable all screwed up.  I guess it's a problem with configure.rb?

Here's what $LOAD_PATH starts with in mod_ruby:

[
  "/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.6",
  "/usr/lib/site_ruby/1.6/i386-linux",
  "/usr/lib/site_ruby",
  "/usr/lib/ruby/1.6",
  "/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/i386-linux",
  "."
]

Here's what it is for me normally:

[
  "/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"
  "."
]

So, at the top of each of apache/ruby-run.rb and apache/eruby-run.rb I
added:

$LOAD_PATH.replace [
  "/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",
  "."
]

When I restarted httpd I got no errors, so that's a good sign!  However,
when I tried to get a simple .rbx or .rhtml page, I got the follow in my
error logs:

(eval): undefined method `instance' for Apache::RubyRun:Class (NameError)
        from ruby:0:in `value'
        from ruby:0

Am I close??  Should I just give up?  (I'm about to...)
