:The standard library is installed in /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1
This version number is "library compatibility version". Ruby 1.9.2 is
mostly compatible with the 1.9.2, so its library is installed in the
directory.
- india 16y agoThis is insane. I have just had to explain 3 people on #ruby-lang why my error log has 1.9.1 in it if I am running purely 1.9.2. This tangentially breaks the principle of least surprise. I can't see any good reason for doing this. This will result in unnecessary head aches during debugging for months to come.
- philwelch 16y agoThat always confused me before, but at least I know it's intentional.
