I verified that it does work:
sudo macgem install awesome_print
Password:
unknown: warning: ignoring alias
Successfully installed awesome_print-0.2.1
1 gem installed
% cat ~/.irbrc
require 'rubygems'
require 'ap'
% macirb
irb(main):001:0> data = [ false, 42, %w(forty two), { :now => Time.now, :class
=> Time.now.class, :distance => 42e42 } ]
=> [false, 42, ["forty", "two"], {:now=>2010-10-06 11:06:37 +0200,
:class=>Time, :distance=>4.2e+43}]
irb(main):002:0> ap data
[
[0] false,
[1] 42,
[2] [
[0] "forty",
[1] "two"
],
[3] {
:now => 2010-10-06 11:06:37 +0200,
:class => Time < NSDate,
:distance => 4.2e+43
}
]
=> nil
It’s probably, as Joshua has said, being installed with the wrong rubygems
installation.
