Problem with gem install, rubygems 0.9.0

Hi all,

Solaris 10
Ruby 1.8.4
gems 0.9.0

I did a fresh install of Ruby, installed gems via “ruby setup.rb”, and
tried by
my first ‘gem install’. This is what I got:

djberge@~/local/src/ruby-516>sudo gem install pathname2
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
ERROR: While executing gem … (NameError)
undefined local variable or method `other’ for 1:Fixnum

I got the same result regardless of whether or not RUBYOPT was set.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan

Just curious, it looks like you installed Ruby into your home
directory (~/local/src/ruby516) – why then run gem via sudo?

I removed Ruby and all related files. Then I installed Ruby and
rubygems via
pkg-add. I don’t know what caused the above error but it works now.
