It should install into rubylibdir, i.e. $ ruby -rrbconfig -e 'puts Config::CONFIG["rubylibdir"]' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8 as that, just like Perl vendor locations, allows site installations which override Fedora-shipped packages. > So I see a couple of issues: > > 1) The template calls ruby to determine %{ruby_sitelib}, which doesn't > work in mock: > > %{!?ruby_sitelib: %define ruby_sitelib %(ruby -rrbconfig -e "puts Config::CONFIG['sitedir']")} It does work in mock, albeit only when building the binary, not when preparing the src.rpm in host chroot. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
