Hi, I want to install a gem, but it doesn't build on my platform. I fix the C-source, and submit a patch to the owner.
But I want to go on, and not wait for the maintainer to apply my patch. How can I rebuild the gem, and install. I tried to untar the original gem, untar data.tar.gz, drop in my .c file, and tar it up again, but this doesn't work. I get an error message the some directory already exists. I rm -rf'ed everything in the gem directory tree that belonged to this gem, but still the same error. Is there a way to do this ? Cheers, Han Holl PS It may be relevant that I try this on a ruby-1.9.1 in /usr/local/bin, with ruby-1.8.6 in /usr/bin. _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
