This patch is taken from r1441 of rubygems's SVN repository to fix rewriting of /usr/bin/env shebang patch with additional arguments to the ruby interpreter. Without the patch the regexp would not match, leaving the /usr/bin/env in place. This causes problems on platforms that pass the remainder of the shebang line as a single argument, such as Linux. See bug #199378 for all the details. This patch should no longer be needed with rubygems 0.9.5. --- lib/rubygems/installer.rb.~1~ 2007-05-10 21:01:45.000000000 +0200 +++ lib/rubygems/installer.rb 2007-11-18 14:18:31.000000000 +0100 @@ -254,7 +254,7 @@ path_to_ruby = File.join(Config::CONFIG['bindir'], Config::CONFIG['ruby_install_name']) if first_line =~ /^#!/ # Preserve extra words on shebang line, like "-w".
