Perhaps the attached shar(1) meets the needs of both? I compared the locations of the files that ruby-rmagick installs with the gem and simply generate symlinks to fill in the gaps. The end result is that the rubygem port should be able to meet the needs of both. -require rmagick should work -rmagick is registered as a gem and available to other gems If others agree on the tactic, it's possible that we could incorporate the concept into bsd.ruby.mk and automatically enable it via a knob. Then, simply convert everything else to use the rubygems framework. Thoughts? -r -- Ryan Steinmetz PGP: EF36 D45A 5CA9 28B1 A550 18CD A43C D111 7AD7 FAF2
