no, you'll have an installed gem at that point. It is building IN the
install location, so once it is built, it's good to go.
No. For instance, there is no .gemspec file in the specifications
directory,
and it's not easy to create one.
You need to run `gem install` first. It'll put the files in all the
right places. You didn't read Ryan's original mail where he explained

generally a blown build just sits there with a build log file so you
can diagnose the problem. Do a regular install, let it blow up, cd
into the gem dir, add your files/patches needed, and finish the
build (make/rake as appropriate, depending on how the gem extension
is packaged up). It builds in the same location it is going to run
from, so you should be good.
