Description

The Ruby installation always tries to write into /Library/Ruby/site, and pays no attention to the --prefix configuration setting.

I realize that it probably does not make sense to install the Ruby library cide into prefixDir/lib, but I think it does make sense to be able to build it and install it somewhere other than the standard system location. Not everyone that builds Thrift wants to install the build products to the standard locations.
