Hi,

I am suffering an annoying issue loading gem libraries; I am not sure if it is FreeBSD specific.

Install some gem, for example rubygem-test-unit-3.1.9, and take a look at the following code:


$ ruby22 -r test/unit -e 'puts'
$ PREFIX=1 ruby22 -r test/unit -ne 'puts'
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.2/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in 
`require': cannot load such file -- test/unit (LoadError)
       from 
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.2/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in 
`require'

In short: you cannot load any gem if your environment contains the PREFIX variable. When this happens, ruby uses the assigned value instead of /usr/local to search the proper files. This breaks a lot of existent code.

The relevant ports are, installed via pkg:

ruby-2.2.5_1,1
ruby22-gems-2.6.4
ruby23-2.3.1_1,1

The FreeBSD version is 11.0-RELEASE.

This issue did not happen in ruby20, I think.



Regards
