Your issue has nothing to do with Rails. Please read on.

Right. The git gem is not the Git client. The Git client is completely independent of Ruby; you will need to install it just the same way you'd install a Subversion or CVS client. I'm not sure what the git gem does, but I would guess that it's simply some Ruby bindings for Git. > Did I do something wrong ?

I think script/plugin should print an error message in this case, but unfortunately it doesn't. [...] > Any advice welcome, meanwhile I'll keep trying manual install of > zip/tgz ... Install an actual Git client. Problem solved. The situation is analogous to the situation with DBs: there are gems with Ruby bindings for mySQL, PostgreSQL, etc., but you need to install the DB software separately. Git integration works the same way. > > Olivier.
