Okay, I'm trying to ease the RubyGems pain. This may seem like a lot of work just to get these gems working... I don't know, it's a weird thing.
The issues are like: * RubyGems doesn't have a GUI. * Shoes users shouldn't be expected to use the commandline. (So, no `gem install twitter`.) * Shoes users shouldn't need admin rights to use a lib. * Shoes needs to include SQLite3, for the image cache. * And I like having Hpricot and JSON. So, Shoes adds a GUI showing installation. Which is finally working on more platforms. Rather than `gem install twitter`, we use `Shoes.setup`. That works fine, also. (When not interfered by hpricot and sqlite3 probs.) Gems install to ~/.shoes. That solves admin problems. The last problems have been the ones bothering most people. Since sqlite3 and hpricot weren't being installed as gems, they were being ignored during installation and upgrades. Many conflicts. So, I'm now installing sqlite3 and hpricot as gems. You can look in Shoes' ruby/gems/1.8/gems folder after building it. Other gems still go to ~/.shoes, but gems bundled with the distro go in that folder. I'm going to work on getting you builds. This is the last change of Raisins. _why
