[MacRuby-devel] rSpec for MacRuby

[Eloy Duran]

Hey Conrad,

I agree that you don't notice the issue if you use RVM. But the fact  
remains that the issue still exists…

So as an interim solution you can indeed use RVM or, like Laurent  
does, use a separate gem home, but on the long run, imo, RubyGems  
should be enhanced to take care of this. I, for instance, haven't been  
able to get RVM to work (disclaimer: I haven't spent a lot of time  
trying to get it to work).
