[ANN] RubyGems 1.1.0

21

That the built-in installation of Ruby on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) is
structured in a peculiar way is a well-established fact. Nothing to do
with the system; it's the use of highly non-standard paths and
permissions for Ruby (including initial installation in a framework, in
a region to which the user has no write access, so e.g. outdated gems
can't be cleaned up - and what will happen when the user is ready to
update Ruby itself is completely unclear). But we've been up and down
this road before; nothing new to see here. m.

Am I right in assuming that the current incorrect install only creates the following two directories which can be safely deleted once 1.1.0 is installed correctly (in /Library/Ruby) with the above command?

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/lib
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/bin
