It looks like gem_prelude.rb sets up the gems include path.

The relevant code section is:

 def self.default_dir
        File.join File.dirname(ConfigMap[:sitedir]), 'Gems',
                  ConfigMap[:ruby_version]
      elsif RUBY_VERSION > '1.9' then
        File.join(ConfigMap[:libdir], ConfigMap[:ruby_install_name], 'gems',
                  ConfigMap[:ruby_version])
      else
        File.join(ConfigMap[:libdir], ruby_engine, 'gems',
                  ConfigMap[:ruby_version])
      end
    end

So the Gem.default_dir is being set to:
  File.join(ConfigMap[:libdir], ConfigMap[:ruby_install_name], 'gems',
ConfigMap[:ruby_version])

(that's the middle "RUBY_VERSION > '1.9'" code chunk)

So ConfigMap[:ruby_install_name] is "ruby19" in this case, and THAT's
what is screwing this up.



IDEAS:

Either the FreeBSD Ruby 1.9 port needs to install things in
"/usr/local/lib/ruby19" instead of "/usr/local/lib/ruby/" so the code
will work as-is, or else something's gotta change with
ConfigMap[:ruby_install_name], or else gem_prelude.rb code has to be
changed...

So... anyone with expertise, where does one go from here?
