Thanks, Wayne, but you're right, that seems a little brittle.  Is there any
other way to do this?  I guess one question is that if it knows that I'm on
an "i486-linux" platform, why is it giving me the "mswin32" option in the
first place?

One possible method is:

echo 1 | gem install mongrel

The downside to this is if it's not always the first one (eg if ruby/
win32 can get switched at each next release)

Hello all,
Apologies if this is not the right place for this question, but I
thought I'd start here.  We're trying to install the latest Mongrel
from inside a script.  Using 'gem install -v 1.0.1 mongrel' causes
a prompt to come up asking whether to install the "ruby" or
"mswin32" variant.

Select which gem to install for your platform (i486-linux)
 1. mongrel 1.0.1 (ruby)
 2. mongrel 1.0.1 (mswin32)
 3. Cancel installation

If I don't want to have to write an expect script or something like
that, is there any way to specify on the command line that I want
the "ruby" variant so that I don't get this prompt?

Thanks in advance for any help.
