gem native extension installer failure on winxp pro 64 system

David Southwell

8/9/2008 1:45:00 PM

Here is the shell error:
C:\ ..........> gem update
Updating installed gems
Updating fxruby
Successfulyy installed fxruby-1.6.16-x86-mswin32-60
Updating haml
Successfully installed haml-2.0.2
Updating hpricot
Building Native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: While executing gem.... (Gem::Installer::ExyensionBuildError)
ERROR: failed to build gem native extension

Path was given to gem.make.out file which reads:

C:/Program Files (x86)/ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb update
'C:/Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

At first glance it seems the update script does not specify path correctly
specified for platform.
--------------------

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Looks like with hpricot the latest version doesn't come with a
pre-compiled binary. So avoid that, or install VC6 or mingw + mingw
ruby. Maybe :)

VC6 is installed. This seems to be a pathing error in the install script which
is looking for C:\program rather than C:\program files (86) which is the
appropriate path on win 64. All other gems install fine- this problem only
occurs with hpricot.

Looks like it might be an hpricot bug then. Either hack out a fix or
post a bug or both, I guess.

Update RubyGems (and, probably, everything else) to handle paths with
spaces.
