znmeb@DreamScape ~/cougar/PTR2/rubinius $

If I do

$ PREFIX=/home/znmeb/cougar/PTR2/install rake --trace install 2>&1 | tee ../install.log

it crashes -- can't find the shared library trying to load "rbx"

install -c -m 0644 lib/zlib.rb /home/znmeb/cougar/PTR2/install/lib/rubinius/0.9/zlib.rb

install -c -m 0644 lib/zlib.rb.ffi /home/znmeb/cougar/PTR2/install/lib/rubinius/0.9/zlib.rb.ffi

mkdir -p /home/znmeb/cougar/PTR2/install/lib/rubinius/0.9/bin

/home/znmeb/cougar/PTR2/install/bin/rbx compile /home/znmeb/cougar/PTR2/install/lib/rubinius/0.9/English.rb

    We don't currently have a rake install target, but use a symlink to bin/rbx.
