Janek, did you mean something like Rubygems (http://rubygems.org)? It manages the download, installation and manipulation of Ruby packages, called "gems". A gem can contain executable programs or libraries (just like traditional packages, like .rpm). Rubygems also handles dependencies between gems, and allows you to update them.
But doesn't solve the actual problem; Ruby programmers use RVM (think virthualenv) religiously to avoid "gem hell", and every Ruby project effectively has its own Ruby installation as a result. Indeed, gem managers mostly expect you to be installing into private RVM sandboxes. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
