I’m trying to DL a gem but I keep getting this message:

E:\Ruby\bin>cmd /k “F:\Torque Game Engine Demo\System\Hack\Ruby\bin\gem.bat”
The system cannot find the drive specified.

E:\Ruby\bin>gem i narray

Does anyone know how to solve this? Btw,

E:\Ruby\bin>cmd /k “F:\Torque Game Engine Demo\System\Hack\Ruby\bin\gem.bat”
The system cannot find the drive specified.

This is not a problem.

  1. Avoid path with spaces

  2. Add Ruby\bin directory to your path:

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Ruby\bin

  1. proceed to gem installation with verbose and debug modes:

gem install xxx --debug -V

Hello

Which version of Ruby are you using?
You can check it by:

ruby -v

If it is [i386-mingw32] or [i386-mswin32],
you can install a binary package by:

gem install narray --platform=x86-mingw32

Otherwise, you need some compiler to compile sources.

You don’t have nmake and, presumably, a compiler to build C extensions.

(or you do and you need to fix your PATH)

Thanks! I’ll report back what happens.
