Charlie: I can point you to several posts of people with messed PATH and ended with problems installing gem, just a few weeks back, here on this list: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/rubygems-developers/2008-March/003633.html I got several mails to my inbox about Mongrel too, and some "new" ones for One-Click Installer... So the thing is: if JRuby uses RubyGems, and 'ruby' executable is labeled 'jruby', why not name rubygems 'jgem'? In any case, there should be a warning or something if another ruby implementation is in the PATH... I don't know how to fix this and makes everybody happy... -- Luis Lavena Multimedia systems - Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
