Forum: Ruby gem install getopt problem

$ gem install getopt
Attempting local installation of 'getopt'
Local gem file not found: getopt*.gem

So it seems the lib subdir is not being created for some reason.

Anyone else see this? Other gems seem fine.

$ gem -v
0.8.11
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [i686-linux]

That's weird.  It looks like the gem file is broken for some reason (I 
just
tried a local install).  The only thing I changed was the version, from 
1.3.0
to 1.3.1.

I have absolutely no idea what's wrong.

The lib and examples directories are not included in the gem archive 
itself.

Whoopsie.  I messed up the gemspec (fixed now).  I'll upload a new gem 
shortly.

Thanks. Looking forward to trying getopt.
