Apparently newgem has a dependency on rubigen. I’d expect that gem install newgem would auto-install its dependencies, then it. Thanks! -=r C:\dev\ruby\_backtracer\>gem install newgem ERROR: Error installing newgem: newgem requires rubigen (\>= 1.5.1, runtime) C:\dev\ruby\_backtracer\>gem install rubigen Successfully installed rubigen-1.5.1 C:\dev\ruby\_backtracer\>gem install newgem Successfully installed newgem-1.2.3 ---

On OS X it installs fine, but I get a similar error on Vista. I downloaded the source, but I don’t see a gemspec. My suggestion is to report this to Dr. Nic. Regards, Dan
