So, in an effort to compare the upgrade with a virgin install, I'm trying to install typo on my laptop.

I start with

$ sudo gem install typo

and I get

Password:
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing typo:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb install typo

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.


Oh!
Well I do have /usr/lib/mysqlclient ...
# rpm -q -f /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so
libmysql15-5.0.45-8.2mdv2008.0
Now it happens that is sripped.  I don't know why.


So I gave up o that and tried installing from the .tgz
I unpacked ok, and then


[EMAIL PROTECTED] Ruby]$ ./typo-5.1.2/bin/typo install \
                                           typo-5.1.2/db/emerge \
                                            database=sqlite3

/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- rails-installer (LoadError) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
        from ./typo-5.1.2/bin/typo:4


Hmm.  So I try

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Ruby]$ find /usr/lib/ruby /home/anton \
                          -name 'rails-installer*' -print

which returns nothing.

Yes, I did a 'sudo gem update' before this.
