Error compiling ruby 1.9.2-p180 while upgrading to Rails 3

gcc -shared -o …/…/…/.ext/i686-linux/digest/md5.so md5init.o md5.o -

`/home/rails3/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-p180/ext/digest/md5’

looks to my inexperienced eye that each -L takes only one directory,
and -L/home/rails3/.rvm/usr,/lib is breaking things… no idea how to
fix, though

ruby compiled fine without links to openssl and iconv. This was posted
as a way to remove an ‘No such file to load - openssl’ error when
trying to run my rails app under rails 3.0.5.

the command that started all this was:

rvm install 1.9.2 -C --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm.usr --with-iconv-
dir=$HOME/.rvm.usr

Thanks for any help
