Is it possible to make rubygem installation a smoother process? I'll spare you the boring details of trying to get perftools.rb installed for ruby 1.9 on our Koala today, except to link to this awesome commit message: "Install ruby_core_source when needed, instead of yelling at the user" https://github.com/tmm1/perftools.rb/commit/1ac8143bdc565a1bd8d23d4ffefcd85e3ec6c5d1
However, I'm wondering: the first time you install a gem, is it merely a matter of while true break if package_installs # You've earned a break google(error_message) find_missing_dependencies end Or is there a better way? So far, I'm thinking: * Maybe this is why some people install everything via Debian packages rather than rubygems * Are there any web sites where you can look up the thing you're installing, and find out what roadblocks various people had along the way? (Apart from google.com) * Maybe someone could have a virtual computer randomly try to install various gems and report which ones fail on a clean install Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
