Summary0012965: FindRuby.cmake uses an incorrect method to detect if vendor directory is available.
DescriptionI'm specifically talking about the following line:
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Modules/FindRuby.cmake;h=c4adfd1ee985a4f147796da654fa0b97fe61ee2f;hb=HEAD#l98 [^]

It seems that opensuse is the only distro shipping a vendor-specific.rb file which is not a standard ruby convention. Archlinux, Debian, probably no other distro uses this except Opensuse.

I emailed the opensuse ruby maintainer and he indeed said vendor-specific.rb was only introduced from macports. You should be checking if the following variables exist in ruby:

RbConfig::CONFIG['vendordir']
RbConfig::CONFIG['vendorlibdir']
RbConfig::CONFIG['vendorarchdir']

Currently we have no module maintainer for FindRuby:

Moving to backlog until a volunteer maintainer is available.
