Hi!

It turned out the ruby-gettext method your port is using has triggered
a bug in the new version of rubugems.  I filed the issue with the upstream.

Nonetheless, the Gem::all_load_paths method gettext is using is deprecated,
so we probably need to patch it in the gettext anyway.  Unfortunately,
it seems that upstream no longer supports this library, so I'll try to
figure out how to patch the gem port tomorrow.
