Now I understand. In the Windows world (where I've lived
for too many years), you typically put all the files
related to a program in the same directory. In unix, you
typically put just the launching program in /usr/bin and
the rest in an app-specific directory.

Ruby needs to work well in both the typical Windows case,
and the typical unix case.

I definitely do not want to install my files into the ruby
lib path, as they are not library files. They are simply a
collection of classes used only by my app. I want my app to
be as self-contained within one directory as possible.

In Windows, the main.rb should definitely assume that all
the related files are in the same directory. If I
understand the requirelocal solution, it would allow this.

There are probably standard ways in unix for a program to
"know" what its directory is. I don't know what those ways
are. Would the install program have to insert the actual
directory into the app's /usr/bin/main.rb, so it could do
the -I correctly?

But I want the same main.rb in both cases. Can requirelocal
work in the typical unix case as well?

Kevin
