I am not sure this is the best place for this question, it might better  
belong on a SuSE Linux forum but I thought I would start here.

I have a SuSE 9.1 Professional platform. I deinstalled the stock Ruby  
and  
rolled my own Ruby 1.8.4 which now lives in /usr/local. I also on the  
same  
platform have a full Rails installation, also in /usr/local.

I want to install mr\_guid.

I note that mr\_guid requires the various ruby-gtk2 and ruby-gnome2  
libraries  
all of which are linked off the mr\_guid site as installable rpms.

Ok, my question is if I install these as rpms are they going to install  
such  
that they they think they are for the stock Ruby which used to reside  
in /usr/bin with the ruby libs in /libs/ruby or will my Ruby  
installation  
in /usr/local work such that mr\_guid will launch and run correctly.

All comments welcome
