I am unsure how the other poster found success for his, though. That is odd. ---

True, but I’m not seeing this reproduce (granted I’m trying on a 64-bit machine, but that shouldn’t make a difference). Can you list what envvars you have set?

Note that it’s a quite experimental gem so you may want to use it on a throw-away computer. Note also that if you do install it, try running “rake” or whatever you want before and after–it “should” give a substantial speed increase over the normal rubygems startup time, but I’m unable to test that on IR without being able to install… -r ---

The public version of faster\_rubygems on [RubyGems.org](http://RubyGems.org) is 0.9.2, which installs fine with IronRuby. It looks like you’re trying to install 0.9.3 from a .gem file, so there is most likely an issue with the new gem? Try installing 0.9.2 by just doing “igem install faster\_rubygems” and see if that works for you.
