Hi Stefan,
Thanks a lot for your help. It was kinda fuzzy in my head, but
because you fortified my sight of the problem, I get nearer to it. In the
fact /usr/local/lib/site_ruby is created by the rubygems install script,
so it's fine for me (I think).
The real problem is that I installed some gems like `og`, but irb can't
find the include path to use it :
irb(main):001:0> require 'og'
LoadError: No such file to load -- og
from (irb):1:in `require'
from (irb):1
irb(main):001:0> require_gem 'og'
NoMethodError: undefined method `require_gem' for main:Object
from (irb):1
It looks like gem has some problems.
I had to compile it from souce (latest from rubyforge) because ubuntu
doesn't have the gem package. Here are the compile options, it looks all
right for me, but maybe I missed something :
ruby setup.rb show
prefix /usr
bindir $prefix/bin
libdir $prefix/lib
datadir $prefix/share
mandir $prefix/share/man
sysconfdir /etc
stdruby $libdir/ruby/1.8
siteruby $prefix/local/lib/site_ruby
siterubyver $siteruby/1.8
siterubyverarch $siterubyver/i386-linux
rbdir $siterubyver
sodir $siterubyverarch
rubypath /usr/bin/ruby1.8
rubyprog /usr/bin/ruby1.8
makeprog make
shebang ruby
without-ext no
I did `sudo ruby setup.rb all` to install it.
I guess I'm not really good at describing the problems.. The subject would
more be like : rubygems not working with ubuntu's ruby package.
Thanks again and have a nice day,
zimba
