It feels like this is part 7 or 8 in the ruby series, but I hope you're still hanging in there ;-)

Last time I blogged about Ruby 1.9.1 search paths, but after some converstation with Stephan Kasal in private, and some more on the Ruby SIG mailing list, I'm leaning towards the simplest ever search path;

/usr/local/lib{,64}/ruby
/usr/local/share/ruby
/usr/lib{,64}/ruby
/usr/share/ruby

As I also mentioned in this message, this looks very clear and straightforward to me! Regrettably, I have not yet had much response on the mailing list. I hope to be doing some rebuilds of packages depending on ruby later on, see how that goes, and maybe release a 1.9.2 release candidate version somewhere.
