Yes, in this combination and when you add $GEM_HOME/bin to your path it makes sense. It also gives an easy and safe way to uninstall all gems by just removing the directory. Switching between different Ruby versions needs a versioned GEM_HOME, though. That's not difficult to set up, if you need it. Or you just remove the directory and start from scratch when switching to another Ruby version. And you do need to add the symbolic links for the other executables which come with ruby, in particular irb, which is something you might type quite often. > HTH :-) It does. Thanks a lot. It would be great, if we would have a nicer Ruby experience out of the box, but I like the setup you described. This results in a nice experience. -- Cornelius Schumacher <[email protected]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
