I'm using the PPC Branch, but appear to have a ruby issue.

Hello,

OS: 10.3.9

I manually untarred http://github.com/sceaga/homebrew/tarball/powerpc
with tar -xvzf - -C/usr/local --strip 1 .

Upon running brew I receive the error:
Theodore-Waddells-Computer:~ theodorewaddell$ brew
/usr/local/bin/brew:6:in `require': No such file to load -- pathname (LoadError)
       from /usr/local/bin/brew:6

I was told this may be a ruby issue. Mac OS X 10.3.9 originally came
with ruby 1.6.8 . So, the idea of an issue did not surprise me.

I followed the instructions on this page
http://hivelogic.com/articles/ruby-rails-mongrel-mysql-osx/

to build ruby 1.8.7 . ruby -v now reads 1.8.7

However, I still receive the error above. I am not familiar with
homebrew or ruby, but my instinct says homebrew is either still going
to the original 1.6.8 ruby install if it wasn't overwritten by the one
I compiled or it is looking in the wrong place entirely. (or 1.8.7
isn't new enough?)

Thanks for any help or insight you can offer,
Theodore
