Slackware 13.0 packaging issue

Hello list,
I'm the framework mantainer over at SlackBuilds.org, a place where to
find SlackBuild scripts for packaging Slackware programs. I'm writing
here because I've found a strange issue when trying to package the
latest release and I'm seeking some help.
The problem is that if I install the framework using the official
installer everything is smooth while, on the other side, with my
instructions (attached to this mail) looks like the Slackware ruby 1.8
and SlackBuild.org rubygem will get in the middle, causing some troubles.
However, if I remove any installed 1.8 gems, my packaged framework
starts to work.

As you can see from the attached script I'm not doing anything much
different from the officially provided installer.sh, the only big
differences are:
+ I'm putting msf* links into /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin
+ I'm linking (/usr/bin/)../../opt/metasploit3/bin/msf* instead of
/opt/metasploit3/bin/msf*
Could the problems be related to relative linking? I'm pretty lost at
this point :)
Thanks in advance for any help!

ciao
