Typical gem installation is done by % gem install rvm Gem portfiles are amazingly simple to create, see http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/ruby/rb-actionmailer/Portfile for a good example. I should mention that I could not make ruby 1.9 work through rvm, but my macports install runs perfectly. Strange that your setup would be opposite. -- http://josephholsten.com _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
