Good stuff. 1. Who gets to write to the /var/ruby directory, where the gems are maintained? The Ruby development model is tailored to the individual downloading of gems, as they are needed. On a multi-user system, this type of updating in a common directory might be a problem. 2. A bundled in Postgres extension would be be ideal, providing the worthwhile linkage to the bundled Postgres database on Solaris. 3. Any interoperability issues with a Studio-compiled /usr/bin/ruby and gems grabbed from the net that are built with gcc?
