Continuing on this topic, primarily for ruby-1.9.1, I'm at a stage where:

# gem install facter

installs facter to /usr/local/share/ruby/gems/facter-<version>, along
with the facter.gemspec in /usr/local/share/ruby/specifications/ and so
forth, but facter itself won't work.

Attached is an strace where you can recognize the gross inefficiency of
Ruby searching through all kinds of paths looking for facter.

I'm interested to know how you guys think we might solve this problem.
