This is in the right direction for what I need, a binary install.
I would like to make ruby on machine A and install on
machine B.

A: ./configure --prefix=/onA
A; make
now tar it up and send it to B
B make PREFIX=/onB install
but I want the whole install tree below /onB
and I want it to look for libraries on /onB.

Is this possible?
