"/home/sam/.rbenv/versions/2.0.0-p195/bin/ruby": not in executable format: File format not recognized

Lost on how to continue debugging this, it is telling me the executable is not valid.

Newbie error

compiling ruby with --prefix set to pwd leads to this mess. it should probably fail the build earlier instead of this rather hard to debug issue.

• File 0001-Disallow-prefix-pwd.patch 0001-Disallow-prefix-pwd.patch added

I have attached a patch that disallows --prefix set to pwd, but I am not an autoconf master. It works for me, but I'm not sure if there is a better way.
