I make extensive use of Ruby, and have a number of libraries of

know about the 'non-packaged' tree.

We patched Python to have site-packages in a writable location and a
separate vendor-package in our package directories. We would need to do
the same for Ruby.

Hmmm. I don't see this:

import sys
print(sys.path)
['', '/packages/python-2.7.9-1/.self/lib/python27.zip',
'/packages/python-2.7.9-1/.self/lib/python2.7',
'/packages/python-2.7.9-1/.self/lib/python2.7/plat-haiku1',
'/packages/python-2.7.9-1/.self/lib/python2.7/lib-tk',
'/packages/python-2.7.9-1/.self/lib/python2.7/lib-old',
'/packages/python-2.7.9-1/.self/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload',
'/packages/python-2.7.9-1/.self/lib/python2.7/vendor-packages']


Please open a bug report about this at haikuports so we can fix the Ruby
port.

OK, but I suspect this is going to be an ongoing problem...
