Hi everyone,
I’'m trying to figure out why rubygems won’t install correctly on this
particular RHEL4 box, but it does on others. Obviously, it’s an
environment issue, but I can’t track down where. here are some
details:
Compiling ruby 1.8.4 on 6 RHEL4 machines. 5 were ok. The one I do
the most dev on is not. Ruby works fine, but rubygems does not:
gem -v
/usr/local/bin/gem: line 3: require: command not found
/usr/local/bin/gem: line 4: Gem.manage_gems: command not found
/usr/local/bin/gem: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token (' /usr/local/bin/gem: line 6:required_version =
Gem::Version::Requirement.new(">= 1.8.0")’
gem installs with ‘/usr/bin/env ruby’ as the default startup line, but
running this myself returns zilch:
/usr/bin/env ruby
/usr/bin/env ruby -v
which gem
/usr/local/bin/gem
which ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby
Changing the shebang line in /usr/local/bin/gem to use
/usr/local/bin/ruby works as far as gem -v goes, but I’m afraid to use
it if I don’t know what env vars it might use otherwise.
I have no ruby-based rpms installed anymore (I did once, but they
haven’t been updated since 1.8.1, so I scrapped them). I’ve rm -rf’ed
the entire ruby distribution and started from scratch, so I’m thinking
it must be environment. Does anybody have a suggestion as to what
could cause this? I see no obvious discrepancies between this machine
and any of the other 5. Where should I look next?
Thank you!

It certainly does sound like an environment issue. My guess is the
PATH doesn’t include /usr/local/bin, but if you can run ‘gem’ that
couldn’t be it. Try running ‘/usr/bin/env’ (without the ‘ruby -v’) on
each machine. This prints out the current environment and you can
compare to find the environment differences.

Whoa. Check this out. On one of the “good” machines (some info
snipped):
/usr/bin/env

Now, on the “bad” machine:

Huh?!
