>Description:
	www/merb fails to install (and so also fails to generate a binary
	package).   (Other www/merb-* packages are all fine).
	The problem is a missing "lib" file (or just as likely, directory)
	somewhere (apparently) - the error message is very terse...

>How-To-Repeat:
	I use pkg_comp with libkver and NetBSD 4.0 sets installed
	(except x*, I use pkgsrc modular xorg instead).  Most probably
	none of that is relevant here.

	When building www/merb, except to see ...

===> Installing for merb-0.9.2
=> Generating pre-install file lists
=> Installing gem into installation root
File not found: lib
Successfully installed merb-0.9.2
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for merb-0.9.2...
*** Error code 1

Stop.

	What that "lib" is that is not found I have no idea
	(that is, whether it is something in the pkg that is
	to be copied, or something that should exist in /usr/pkg
	somewhere).   I'm even only guessing that the missing lib
	is the cause of the "Error code 1".

	I do see earlier ...

===> Building for merb-0.9.2
mkdir -p pkg
mkdir -p lib

	with no error from the mkdir (and no reason it should fail
	that I can imagine, though mkdir -p does tend to hide
	some errors - for those simple paths, is the -p really needed?)

	After that ...

WARNING:  no rubyforge_project specified
WARNING:  description and summary are identical
mv merb-more-0.9.2.gem pkg/merb-more-0.9.2.gem
WARNING:  no rubyforge_project specified
WARNING:  description and summary are identical
mv merb-0.9.2.gem pkg/merb-0.9.2.gem

	which seems to be the entire build process for www/merb !

	There's a little more output before the install phase
	starts, but that just seems to be providing some version
	info on those two files that we just mv'd.

>Fix:
	??

 You can find "lib" in ${WRKDIR}/merb-0.9.2.gemspec:

 require_paths:
 - lib

 After "make extract", remove the "- lib" line, is it succeed to build and install?

 No, that makes no difference at all that I could detect.   I have spent
 a while playing around with this one, and I still have no idea what is
 happening, I really don't even know what the "error code 1" is coming
 from, it is just speculation that the message relating to the "lib" file
 not found (which was several lines earlier in the build log) is related
 to the actual problem.

 I cannot even find where the
 	Installing ri documentation for merb-0.9.2...
 message comes from (that's the line just before the error code) so I
 really have no idea what might be failing here.

Does this still happen? ISTR that the ruby version they happened with is no

 "they" meaning "failures like this", which there have been a lot of.
