I think I must have had a bad stage tarball. At any rate, that problem doesn't occur now. Instead I get various ruby packages failing because they can't find the gems directory, or some other problem. There was once a news item about ruby-30, but I don't see it any more. At the time I added this: # cat /etc/portage/package.use/ruby dev-ruby/* ruby_targets_ruby30 virtual/rubygems ruby_targets_ruby30 virtual/ruby-ssl ruby_targets_ruby30 That worked nicely, but not on a new system. I've tried changing the 20 to 27 and I've tried removing the file, but neither helps. Eselecting ruby versions doesn't either. -- Regards, Peter.
