Here's what I do to make a test installation of rubygems:
class RubyGemsInstaller
attr_writer :install_dir
attr_writer :rubygems_dist_dir
def install
install_dir = File.expand_path(@install_dir)
rubygems_dist_dir = File.expand_path(@rubygems_dist_dir)
ENV['GEM_HOME'] = "#{install_dir}"
setup_cmd = "ruby setup.rb"
Dir.chdir("#{rubygems_dist_dir}") do
`#{setup_cmd} config --prefix=#{install_dir}`
`#{setup_cmd} setup`
`#{setup_cmd} install`
end
end
end
...although I've never done this on a system without rubygems already
installed, and I still end up using the executables from the main
installation.
