OK, but do the library directories within the packages that contains
get renamed? I think they would not. See below.

Further remarks from me are in there.

I think you are using a different library when you do that: the one
in shoes (installed by shoes) versus the one installed by ruby. The
irb belongs to ruby.

Again you may get incompatibilities depending on how they were built.

Have you changed :build_os to tell the compiler (gcc I presume) that
you are using 64 bits or at least that you are not using 32 bits and you
are using the system default? I think there may be other library refs in
there that could be wrong, but given that shoes brings in most stuff
it needs, I doubt it. I'm not familiar with your platform, so it's
not much good me poking around.

is ext_ruby equal to /usr? If not, why would the lib part change
to lib64? [Maybe you know this is correct for other reasons, but
my suspicion is aroused by your open-uri lib not actually working.

Those look OK.
