lxc.so is put in lib rather than lib/lxc

[jeremiahsnapp]

When I build and install this gem I can't use it unless I move the lxc.so into the installed gem's lib/lxc directory. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I've tried this with ruby 2.1.0 and ruby 1.9.3p448.

git clone ...
cd ruby-lxc
gem build ruby-lxc.gemspec
gem install ruby-lxc-0.1.0.gem

This is what requiring it looks like for me.

irb(main):001:0> require 'lxc'
LoadError: cannot load such file -- lxc/lxc

Moving the .so file works but why?!

mv /opt/rubies/ruby-2.1.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/ruby-lxc-0.1.0/lib/lxc.so /opt/rubies/ruby-2.1.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/ruby-lxc-0.1.0/lib/lxc/

rb(main):001:0> require 'lxc'
=> true
irb(main):002:0>

i am getting this as well. strangely this does not occur if i do bundle exec irb and then require lxc from there, as it is, without moving the .so file

I'm not real familiar with how these things are supposed to work. Is there something wrong with what I'm doing? I shouldn't have to use bundler right?

[ranjib]

yeah , you dont have to. i just mentioned it to help with debugging. may be we need to add lib path in the gemspec. but im not sure

[ranjib]

@jeremiahsnapp can you test this patch

[jeremiahsnapp]

Thanks @ranjib and @andrenth! That patch works for me too. I really appreciate how quickly you respond to these issues.
