I needed to get an older box working again in an emergency, but something really weird is going on with RubyGems (which had never been installed on this box before). I did `sudo apt-get install rubygems` to install it. Then I did `gem search -r jekyll` to confirm the Jekyll gem was out there. That worked as expected. Then I did `sudo gem install jekyll` and got `ERROR: could not find gem jekyll locally or in a repository` in response. Hmmm. So I did `gem search -r jekyll` again and got `bad response Found 302 (http://gems.rubyforge.org/latest_specs.4.8)`. Hmmmm. Did some Googling and finally just deleted my `/home/me/.gem/` directory.
I did the gem search command again -- success!; the gem install command again -- fail! -- (delete .gem/ dir again) -- install command succeeds.! There must be a way for me to install a gem without having to delete `.gem/` after every network request? -- Kris Walker @kixxauth fireworksfactory.blogspot.com www.fireworksproject.com www.kixx.name _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Nov 3 - Open Source Hardware: Bugs, Beagles and Beyond Dec 1 - IBM's Open Client Deployment Jan 5 - Building a Comunity Site with Drupal
