hi, i have encountered a similar problem - using the gem update command and exiting in the middle of the update because i could not find some stupid stdio.h file (this specifically pertains to hpricot). anyway, i found out that you can skip a certain gem by renaming the gem specification file for the specific gem that you want to skip. in my case, i do not want to include hpricot in the gem update command so i go to this directory: C:\Ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\specifications and look for this file: hpricot-0.6-x86-mswin32.gemspec then rename it to: hpricot-0.6-x86-mswin32.gemspec.bak when i run gem update in my computer, it skips hpricot and on my WinXP XP2 machine, there is nothing left to update when i use the gem update command: C:\Ruby>gem update Updating installed gems Nothing to update and now, i can just manually update hpricot using this command: gem install hpricot --source http://code.whytheluckystiff.net and then rename this file again: hpricot-0.6-x86-mswin32.gemspec to: hpricot-0.6-x86-mswin32.gemspec.bak1 i hope this helps your problem. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
