Description Rémy CLOUARD (shikamaru) 2011-02-15 10:06:59 CET 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101230 Firefox/3.6.13
Build Identifier: 

Description of problem:
When running an application running the ruby-gtk2 library, it crashes. The problem is because the .so file gets loaded before the .rb, which happens because the so file is stored in /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/<architecture> and the .rb in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gtk2-0.90.7/lib

Fix would be to move the content of the lib/ directory to /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby.

Better would be to move pure ruby to /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby and so files to /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/<architecture>

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.90.7-1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install an application using the ruby gtk2 bindings (ex: rubyripper)
2. try to launch the gui with rrip_gui
3. see it fail
