System: FreeBSD pyanfar.ece.cmu.edu 4.5-RC FreeBSD 4.5-RC #9: Wed Jan 23 12:16:19 EST 2002 allbery@pyanfar.ece.cmu.edu:/usr/src/sys/compile/PYANFAR i386


>Description:

In the ECE environment, /usr/local on all machines holds software packages
built by Facilities and is maintained by syncset or depot; therefore, FreeBSD
packages and ports must install to a different hierarchy (currently /usr/mach).

If ruby is built with LOCALBASE != /usr/local, it installs its own library
files under $LOCALBASE/lib/ruby, but it sets $LOAD_PATH to /usr/local/lib/ruby
without regard to the value of $LOCALBASE.  As a result, it can't find its
library files when run.

>How-To-Repeat:

cd /usr/ports/lang/ruby
make LOCALBASE=/usr/mach install

Run /usr/mach/bin/ruby on any Ruby script which does a "require", and watch it
spit out a "can't find file" error.
