I'm teaching a class right now and I have a room full of students. Half of them are on Macs and the other half are on Windows and used RailsInstaller (latest version, downloaded this morning) to install on fresh systems. Whenever the Windows users type any rails command from the terminal -- including "rails -v" -- there is a 10 second delay before anything starts happening. Same with "gem -v" (though some students say "gem -v" takes 3-4 seconds), though "ruby -v" returns immediately.
The Mac users, of couse, are experiencing no such delays; the Windows users are learning that Ruby is slow :-) Is this a known issue? Is there anything we can do about it? It is *seriously* impeding flow. We are using rails 3.1.1 and gem 1.7.2 which are the versions Railsinstaller installed. If we hit control-C during the pause we get a stack trace somewhere inside the gem require library, e.g. custom_require.rb:36 (which calls gem_original_require). Could rubygems be hitting the network or timing out for some reason? -- Alex Chaffee - a...@stinky.com http://alexchaffee.com http://twitter.com/alexch _______________________________________________ RubyGems-Developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems RubyGems-Developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
