Hi, it should be possible to pass options after double dash: %gem_install -- --without-qpid-lib-dir=[path] This should be the same as with normal 'gem install'.

I have two packages (qpid-cpp and qpid-proton) that, as part of their source code, can generate a Ruby gem. In both cases the Ruby gem is directly dependant on shared libraries produced by the codebase, and those gems are already packaged separately for Fedora. What I want to do is to create the gem, which is easy, and then install and package it as a subpackage, which is proving to be hard. The problem is that the %gem_install macro won't let me override where it looks for the shared libraries and header files that it needs to create its makefile. Is there a way, during the packaging process, to do this? I need to have the %gem_install macro either accept commandline options (--without-qpid-lib-dir=[path], for example) or else put things where they're discoverable by the %gem_install macro.
