Since you refer to Ruby, I just want to highlight that /usr/local/share/gems/ is for packages installed by *root* via gem too (as you correctly said) [1]. We assume that root manages the entire system and wants installed packages to be available system wide. I don't expect this is widely used practice. Typical user installed packages goes into $HOME/.gem. Is there any location similar to this? As far as I know, our users very appreciate the possibility to do "gem install" without administrator privileges.
