How do you know, all strings with /usr/local in the ruby-executable
make up this path? Isn't easier, just to print out $: without any
-I or RUBYLIB? 

$ (unset RUBYLIB; ruby -e 'p $:')
["/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.6", "/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.6/i386-linux", "/usr/local/lib/site_ruby", "/usr/lib/ruby/1.6", "/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/i386-linux", "."]
