From: botp Date: 2010-10-04T13:49:51+09:00 Subject: gems should *not be case sensitive.. or should they? why are gem names case sensitive? ie, gem rubyinline != gem RubyInline ?? if it's an os/arch limitation, then i'd suggest they'd be all downcased :) eg, $ gem list --remote | grep -i rubyinline rogerdpack-RubyInline (3.8.2.1 ruby) RubyInline (3.8.6) RubyInlineAcceleration (0.0.1) scottmotte-RubyInline (3.8.1 ruby) botp@bg-mis-u10:~ $ sudo gem install rubyinline [sudo] password for botp: ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rubyinline' (>= 0) in any repository botp@bg-mis-u10:~ $ sudo gem install rubyinline ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rubyinline' (>= 0) in any repository botp@bg-mis-u10:~ $ sudo gem install rubyinline ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rubyinline' (>= 0) in any repository botp@bg-mis-u10:~ $ sudo gem install RubyInline Successfully installed ZenTest-4.4.0 Successfully installed RubyInline-3.8.6 2 gems installed Installing ri documentation for ZenTest-4.4.0...
