Subject: Re: RubyGems 0.8.8 not working on Suse 9.2 x64

FIXED! :o)

I just recompiled my Linux Kernel (upgraded to the most recent
2.6.11.6), then recompiled/reinstalled RUBY.

Then installed RUBYGEMS

And GEMS works!  I'm downloading RAILS as we speak!!

Obviously something a bit screwy with SUSE's standard 64-bit kernel, a
recompile/tune with the latest version has fixed Ruby/Gems, and also
made my machine run a *lot* quicker!!
