Unfortunately, the rubygems technology does not have any functionality that would allow me to place a system-wide conf anywhere. Until that happens, a Diakonos Ruby gem would be either crippled, or impossible. โ˜น At the moment, the tarballs include an old version of [http://www.mobiledude.com/projects/ruby/package.html](http://www.mobiledude.com/projects/ruby/package.html) , which seems to work for now, but I know the Ruby community is all on the gems bandwagon, so I feel really left out. โ˜น Anyway, thank you for your kind comments about the editor. ๐Ÿ™‚ God be praised!

Yeah, basically what I was hoping for is diakonos to remember the prefix it was installed to and search accordingly. (I like to install things to /usr/local/$APP/, makes it easier to keep track of what belongs to what. Although at this point my path var is rather long ๐Ÿ™‚ ) ---

If you use $ ./setup.rb --help it displays a plethora of path configuration options. Some that may be of interest to you: ``` --prefix=PREFIX path prefix of target environment [usr] --confdir=PREFIX directory for conf files [/etc] --conf=PREFIX absolute directory for conf files [usr/etc] ``` Diakonos only searches for a system-wide conf in the following places, though: ``` conf_dirs = [ "/usr/local/etc/diakonos.conf", "/usr/etc/diakonos.conf", "/etc/diakonos.conf", "/usr/local/share/diakonos/diakonos.conf", "/usr/share/diakonos/diakonos.conf" ] ``` So if you put it somewhere besides one of those five locations, youโ€™ll have to either specify the conf on the command line (with the -c/โ€“config option), or reference it inside your ~/.diakonos/diakonos.conf file.
