Hi Chris,

Without specifying this explicitly in each definition, the GEM_PATH is
inherited and the version is that of the inherited package.
I'm not sure if this is by design, but the version of the gems folder is
embedded in the build of each rubygem e.g. 'ruby-hoe' includes
/gnu/store/d867l5i2dqd5qnq4qlsrcwwb0x3443fl-ruby-hoe-3.16.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.4.0
So, in this environment, "require 'hoe'" fails after applying your patch
./pre-inst-env guix environment -C --ad-hoc address@hidden ruby-hoe
Having said that, the gems bundled with each ruby are in a directory
with the actual version e.g. address@hidden has this path
/gnu/store/f43dirk254lfhmgjs3sf515cpfl8d46q-ruby-2.2.7/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0
This isn't ideal, any ideas on what we should do? Specify both paths maybe?
Thanks,
ben
