I'm installing my own ruby but need to use the other gnu tools from my co-worker, who has ruby too. I 'm doing this to try stuff first before I ask him to install it in his ruby, which is our standard.
However, my ruby is picking up library from his ruby installation instead of mine. I don't have any RUBY* environment variable, I don't find his path in my ruby Makefile nor configuration.
I did:
configure --prefix=/login/asn
make
make install
I do have my co-worker bin directory in my $PATH (then I removed it afterward). Could my ruby installation picked up the library location from the existing ruby (my co-worker's)? How to tell it not to?
I know there are probably many variables that might have caused it, but if I know how that $: is set, I thought it might help. What could have set $: when I build my ruby?
I've spending hours already to sort this out without any luck.

I suppose the default is compiled-in (the configure --something should
be the right path)
Note that this is just a hint, I'm not sure nor I have checked that.

I don't see that incorrect path for $: defined any where in config* file or Makefile. It guess it must be derived from something. The miniruby got it right. The compiled ruby got it wrong.
Don't know why the compiled ruby has wrong $: and why it's different than miniruby's $:. It looks like a particular problem, though, only when I included my co-worker bin path.
I got it compiled with using different path (it has older gnu tools). This time the $: is correct. It picks up my ruby library.
