Oh, good. I wasn't sure if I'd badly misunderstood 'gemology' at first.=20=


I know there's some kind of controversy about gems and the gem installer =
program. As I understand it, some people feel that optional Ruby =
components (aka "gems") ought to be installed into Linux systems with =
the Linux installer (which for Ubuntu is "apt-get" or "aptitude" or, er, =
apparently there are a multiplicity of things to use (yes, I know =
'aptitude' is a front end for 'apt-get'. One of *many.* Which I do not =
see as a virtue.)).=20

I certainly feel (personally), that if one doesn't install a gem =
_with_the_gem_installer_, one has no ground for complaining about it =
being messed up. It doesn't look like Edmond did that. On the other =
hand, I don't know all that much about that stuff (and try not to; I'd =
rather be learning other things), so I might be ranting from ignorance. =
Just sayin'.

I think, generally, people give far too much weight to anecdotal =
evidence. With that caveat, I will say, again, personally, that besides =
the fact that 'gem' runs on, and has exhibited consistent behavior (to =
me at least) across a much wider range of platforms than any other =
package managment system I know, it also has actually worked correctly =
far more than any other that I've had to deal with, except for the =
native OSX installer. I have had very unpleasant experiences with =
MacPorts/DarwinPorts, apt-get, aptitude, fink, and iInstaller. So this =
is one vote for installing gems with "gem", not with something else. Or, =
rather, one user who is much happier to find that a particular Ruby =
add-on or enhancement is available as a gem, and is dismayed and =
deterred if something is only available as a tarball or an .rpm or the =
like.=20

(OK, "Homebrew" hasn't mangled my system, corrupted libraries, or =
otherwise made things worse instead of better, yet. It's def. my #3 =
favorite package manager.)
