I suspect you will find that some scripts have been generated,  
probably from autotools macroish stuff, and you will find those  
script start

	#!/tmp/ruby/usr/local//bin/ruby

This is likely to be down to *something* like you setting the PREFIX  
when building to include the build root.

Typically you set prefix to the final destination, and fiddle the  
destination directory on install so something like
	./configure --prefix=/usr/local
	....
	make DEST=%{buildroot} install

Exact details depends on the build system your package uses...

And you are certainly not the first to do this - some packages are  
very good at picking up odd paths :-(

	Nigel.
