From: Chris Lowis Date: 2008-08-20T19:21:28+09:00 Subject: Re: Help with Ruby under cygwin Sorry I can't be of much more help. Two quick thoughts: i) Is there any reason you want to use rubygems 0.8.11 ? The current version is 1.2.0 : http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126 ii) If you want a simple install of ruby for you and your colleagues to use (principally with rake in mind), could you not just use the one- click installer ? (http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl) I think it comes with rake, and several other gems, pre-installed. Chris
