If you specify `--with-sitedir=/sw/lib/ruby/1.8', ruby will
search libraries in /sw/lib/ruby/1.8/1.8,
/sw/lib/ruby/1.8/1.8/i686-linux, and /sw/lib/ruby/1.8.
``--with-sitedir=/sw/lib/ruby'' is what you want, isn't it?

``make site-install'' installs libraries into /sw/lib/ruby/1.8/1.8 on my
machine.
Did you run configure.rb with the right Ruby interpreter?
Please check $sitelibdir by the Ruby interpreter which ran configure.rb

$ ruby -r mkmf -e 'p $sitelibdir'
"$(sitedir)/$(ruby_version)"
$ ruby -r mkmf -e 'p $sitedir'
"$(DESTDIR)/tmp/ruby/1.8"

Then, where do you want to install mod_ruby.so?
