i have the following setup
/usr/local/ruby-1.8.0
/usr/local/ruby-1.8.3
/usr/local/ruby-1.9.0
/usr/local/bin/ruby180 -> /usr/local/ruby-1.8.0/bin/ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby183 -> /usr/local/ruby-1.8.3/bin/ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby190 -> /usr/local/ruby-1.9.0/bin/ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby -> /usr/local/ruby-1.9.0/bin/ruby
only /usr/local/bin is in my path. say i want to install rake.
gem install rake
the lib files obviously go into
/usr/local/ruby-1.9.0/lib/
but i want the bin files to land here
/usr/local/bin/rake
i see the --install-dir option, how does one specify separate lib and bin
directories with gem installs?
regards.

I have a similar multi-versioned Ruby install. I move the gem-installed binfiles by hand and rename them according the Ruby version they expect: e.g., gem19, rake18-cvs. It would be wonderful if RubyGems could reuse the details I already fed to ruby ./configure.

an even simpler solution might be
require 'pathname'
bindir = Pathname::new($0).dirname
so, in the case of a link like
/usr/local/bin/ruby18 -> /usr/local/bin/ruby-1.8.1/bin/ruby
this would resolve to /usr/local/bin
it seems that getting bindir info from rbconfig is simply not correct - after
all, that was the bindir info for ruby - not the code one is currently
installing.
a more generic option might be a way to clobber Config::CONFIG values.
something like
--config bindir=/usr/local/bin/
-c bindir=/usr/local/bin
or just take any key value paris on the command line like
bindir=/usr/local/bin
which would, in turn, do
Config::CONFIG['bindir'] = '/usr/local/bin'
so - go ahead and support command line munging of rbconfig if it's taken to be
the master.
i could easily work up a patch if people are interested?

Ah, I see, we have different problems. I want RubyGems to use the same paths and naming options I configured Ruby with; you want RubyGems to respect the 'apparent' Ruby bindir.
I think you may simplify your install by eliminating the symlinks, using --program-suffix, and adding each bindir to your $PATH. Then, so long as RubyGems uses the same install options as Ruby, your gem installs would 'just work'.
For example, with --prefix=/usr/local/ruby19 and --program-suffix=19
gem19 install rake
could create
/usr/local/ruby19/bin/rake19

you mean rubygems doesn't use rbconfig!?
I think you may simplify your install by eliminating the symlinks, using

'just work'.
For example, with --prefix=/usr/local/ruby19 and --program-suffix=19
gem19 install rake
could create
/usr/local/ruby19/bin/rake19
the location i'm installing to is mounted by 50 nodes what already have the
bindir it their path... i'm loath to have to modify 50 .bashrc files... uggh.
