From: Albert Schlef Date: 2008-04-22T22:07:38+09:00 Subject: gem malfunction Sometimes, when I use 'gem' to install a package, say 'sudo gem install dbi', gem uses up all my memory and CPU, and, if I can't manage to arrive at a terminal and do 'sudo killall -9 ruby', I'm left with no choice but reboot my Ubuntu box. I'm using Ruby 1.8, gem 0.9.0. I tried with the '--debug' switch, but it writes nothing while it's "stuck". -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
