Can't install rubygems - but getting closer
Michael Satterwhite
8/7/2006 2:48:00 PM
I'm runniing Ubuntu Breezy. The distributed version of ruby is 1.8.3
which is incompatible with the current rails. As a result, I'm trying to
get things up outside of apt. I have ruby installed - compiled to
install to /usr/bin. I'm trying to get rubygems installed, but still not
making it there.
When I run (as root) ruby setup.rb, from the rubygems-0.9.0 directory,
it terminates with
hook /software/rubygems-0.9.0/./post-install.rb failed:
uninitialized constant Gem::Builder::Package
This is further than I've been getting, but still not there. I want to
thank those of you for the help you've given so far, and need to ask for
some more. Any ideas on how to correct this?

Gems for some reason on Debian/Ubuntu seems to want to install in
/usr/lib/ruby instead of /usr/local (rather annoying) I'd take a look
and see if that is what it did?
On Dapper running ruby from the repository and Gems from source I
install gems to /usr/local/lib/site_ruby this way...
export GEM_HOME=/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/gems
ruby setup.rb config --prefix=/usr/local/
--site-ruby/usr/local/lib/site-ruby
ruby setup.rb setup
ruby setup.rb install
Set necessary environment vars in /etc/environment
Add /usr/local/lib/site-ruby/1.8/gem/bin to the PATH entry
Add GEM_HOME="/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/gems"
Restart so they take system wide effect
I typed that (quickly) from memory away from my ubuntu box so you may
want to check/alter the directories a bit...
