Hi,
I am suffering an annoying issue loading gem libraries; I am not sure if
it is FreeBSD specific.
Install some gem, for example rubygem-test-unit-3.1.9, and take a look
at the following code:
$ ruby22 -r test/unit -e 'puts'
$ PREFIX=1 ruby22 -r test/unit -ne 'puts'
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.2/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': cannot load such file -- test/unit (LoadError)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.2/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
In short: you cannot load any gem if your environment contains the
PREFIX variable. When this happens, ruby uses the assigned value instead
of /usr/local to search the proper files. This breaks a lot of existent
code.
The relevant ports are, installed via pkg:
ruby-2.2.5_1,1
ruby22-gems-2.6.4
ruby23-2.3.1_1,1
The FreeBSD version is 11.0-RELEASE.
This issue did not happen in ruby20, I think.
Regards
