Sorry, didn't realise it was a mailer, too - I use it as a web forum. Wouldn't have done it if I knew. I felt an honest "bump" was more polite than some contrived reason to post. > To your problem.

Subsequently, I de-installed everything, got the zlibs and zlib-devs into place and re-compiled. Several times. Tried rubygems-0.9.0, too. Still nothing (or, rather, still the first error msg) The irritating thing is that it runs just fine on an almost identical RH9 setup (which I'm using ATM to get up to speed :) ). > Probably does, given what a POS RH9 is. Can't say I share your experience, since my server has been a rock for me for over 5yrs! This is the _first_ weird installation prob. I've ever had. I'm just sorry it's so long in the tooth now, I'd like to keep it going as long as possible. (Ubuntu next, p'haps?) === Further with the problem: The offending line in the err message points to the file: /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb at line 27 this looks like: 26> def require(path) 27> gem_original_require path 28> rescue LoadError => load_error I can't say I really see what it's driving at, though I assume the message is the "rescued" load error. Anyone konw what this "path" is supposed to be, and where it should be set? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
