Oh, I just downloaded from github and installed the dependencies (I do not use 
rubygems much). Also, I was thinking of packaging it together with korundum, 
and maybe making a CMake module (FindKorundum.cmake) that would give some 
helpers.

On a Debian/unstable chroot I install «gem install kdegettext». It initially 
fails with:
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/locale-2.0.4/lib/locale.rb:239:in `collect_candidates': 
undefined method `size' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
        from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/locale-2.0.4/lib/locale.rb:222:in 
`candidates'
        from 
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-2.0.4/lib/gettext/textdomain_manager.rb:79:in 
`each_textdomains'
        from 
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-2.0.4/lib/gettext/textdomain_manager.rb:102:in 
`translate_singluar_message'
        from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-2.0.4/lib/gettext.rb:130:in `_'
        from 
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-2.0.4/lib/gettext/tools/rgettext.rb:190:in 
`check_options'
        from 
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-2.0.4/lib/gettext/tools/rgettext.rb:233:in 
`run'
        from 
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/gettext-2.0.4/lib/gettext/tools/rgettext.rb:263:in 
`rgettext'
        from /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/kdegettext-0.9.3/bin/kdegettext.rb:279
        from /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/kdegettext.rb:19:in `load'
        from /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/kdegettext.rb:19


after I do «su - root», it works and context is correctly separated. Note: I 
did not need ruby1.9, nor fullpaths, just su -.

Back to my setup, Debian Lenny, ruby1.8.7. It works without «su - user», with 
the context bug. gettext-ruby came from Debian packages (ver. 1.91.0-1.2).

I removed the debian package and installed the gem one (ver 2.0.4). Now I get 
the previous backtrace and «su - user» fixes it. So, the problem may be in 
ruby-gettext version 2.
