| [RUBY] | Ruby interpreter files |
| [RUBY.LIB] | Libraries. Pointed by Logical name RUBY_LIBROOT. |
| [RUBY.SRC] | Source files to make extension library. (Currentry only ruby.h is placed.) |
The global variable $: keeps directory list referred by require. Directories in the list are defined as relative path from the directory that is pointed by logical name RUBY_LIBROOT.
Your directories can be included in the directory list using the logical name RUBYLIB. For detail, see values of the global variable $: (ruby -e "puts $:").
