Hi,

Installing ruby (following wiki recommandations) with darwinport, I have  
the following error when I want to install rails gem:

/opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in  
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- sources (LoadError) from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in`require’  
from

Any idea?

Thank you

If that still doesn’t work, just install rubygems from source using –  
prefix=/opt/local and that should work fine too.

strange, on tuesday i setup a macbook pro on a fresh os install with  
darwinports 1.3.1 (released on monday) and didn’t have any problems. i  
did see that the rb-rubygems darwinport was rev’ed recently, perhaps  
that issue was resolved?
