I've posted a few things on Ruby before, I know, but this is one thing I really wanted to share with you. I'm thinking of making the search path look like this:

[jmeeuwen@ghandalf ruby-1.9.1-p243]$ ruby-1.9.1 -e 'puts $:'
/usr/local/lib64/ruby/1.9.1
/usr/local/lib64/ruby
/usr/local/share/ruby/1.9.1
/usr/local/share/ruby
/usr/lib64/ruby-1.9.1/site/1.9.1
/usr/lib64/ruby-1.9.1/site/
/usr/share/ruby/site/1.9.1
/usr/share/ruby/site/
/usr/lib64/ruby-1.9.1/vendor/1.9.1
/usr/lib64/ruby-1.9.1/vendor/
/usr/share/ruby/vendor/1.9.1
/usr/share/ruby/vendor/

Ergo;

1. Your local, architecture specific, ruby version specific stuff
2. Your local, architecture specific stuff
3. Your local, architecture independent, ruby version specific stuff
4. Your local, architecture independent stuff

   ^^ This would include results from "gem install"

5. Packaged, architecture dependent, ruby version specific stuff, such as ruby gems from RPM, or ruby libs
6. Packaged, architecture dependent stuff
7. Packaged, architecture independent, ruby version specific stuff
8. Packaged, architecture independent stuff

   ^^ This is where "yum install rubygem-*" would put it's files

9. Architecture dependent ruby vendor, ruby version specific stuff
10. Architecture dependent ruby vendor stuff
11. Architecture independent, ruby version specific, ruby vendor stuff
12. Architecture independent ruby vendor stuff

Did I forget anything? Comments?
