Anyone seen this before?

I deploy my app to /home/myapp

yet according to lsof mongrel is using the image science shared object  
from my home directory…

mongrel\_r 26036 root mem REG 3,5 17617 7097656  
/home/mike/.ruby\_inline/Inline\_ImageScience\_aa58.so  
mongrel\_r 26036 root mem REG 3,5 35914 7702093  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux/strscan.so  
mongrel\_r 26036 root mem REG 3,5 82018 7702102  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux/zlib.so  
mongrel\_r 26036 root mem REG 3,5 11437 8488455  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux/digest/md5.so

on other machines it is using /root/.ruby\_inline/image\_science\*.so

Was their something I missed in the install that a reinstall will  
correct?

Interestingly enough there is a .ruby\_inline/image\_sci.\*so in the  
/home/app directory yet it is using the one in my home.

Mongrel won’t start unless I am root even if I chown  
/home/mike/.ruby\_inline

odd.

Any suggestions?
