i just solved that issue actually. :)
see the attached patch. my %install section looks like:
{{{
%install
GEM_HOME=%{buildroot}%{_libdir}/ruby/gems/%{rb_ver}/ \
ruby -rvendor-specific setup.rb --buildroot=%{buildroot}
}}}
i am also working on a patch to allow
"gem install --buildroot=%{buildroot} somegem"
it works already with locally available gems but fails with remote gems.
hope this helps
