I'm trying to debug a RubyGems test failure on a system which has multiple ruby interpreter installs and 'ruby' symlinked to 'ruby1.8.6'.
Here is the test failure [1]: 1) Error: test_execute_prerelease(TestGemCommandsUninstallCommand): Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/local/lib/ruby1.8.6/bin/ruby1.8.6 mkrf_conf.rb rake1.8.6 RUBYARCHDIR=/tmp/test_rubygems_17720/gemhome/gems/pre-2.b/lib RUBYLIBDIR=/tmp/test_rubygems_17720/gemhome/gems/pre-2.b/lib sh: rake1.8.6: command not found Questions: * What is supposed to get a suffix? All gem executables from installed gems, or just 'official' ruby executables such as ri, irb, etc? * If the former is true, then there are bugs, because when I install gems via 'ruby1.8.6', the executables do not have suffixes. * If the latter is true, what category is Rake in? Is it just a normal gem? If so, it should never be used with an extension, but it is, which causes this test failure above 'rake1.8.6' not found (because the actual executable is just 'rake').
