Mandrake On x86_64, rubygems assumes that the gem installation path is in /usr/lib64/ruby. This is problematic because all of the Mandriva ruby-* packages install their rb files under /usr/lib/ruby regardless of the machine architecture; rubygems consequently cannot find any of the installed gems. This update fixes this issue.

 the machine architecture; rubygems consequently cannot find any of
 the installed gems. This update fixes this issue.
