One of the things we will do is make the Ruby platform be for pure ruby gems only. Things that have a C extension will have a platform name of "C" or "EXT" (or something like that). This allows us to not install gems requiring a compile environment on computers that can't compile (e.g. most non-developer windows machines). Other than that, we will try to use the most appropriate hardware platform we can find that matches. We don't at the moment know exactly how to determine the "best" platform match, thus the reason for tattle which will hopefully report one what's being used today. -- -- -- Jim Weirich [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://onestepback.org ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." -- Donald Knuth (in a memo to Peter van Emde Boas)
