While it's caused by network problems, the current scripts don't deal with this failure as gracefully as we'd like. The manual fix is to delete those 0 byte archives and repeat the build until the the 'downloads' directory cache has a full set of dependencies. Once you get a full set of artifacts in the 'downloads' cache, things work well for repeatedly building. If this is your problem, tweak my previous instructions by doing: # 1. manually delete 0-byte files in 'downloads' subdir # 2. clean out the build sandbox...DON'T run `rake distclean` # as that will also clean files from 'downloads' rake clean ruby19 local=C:\ruby-src nogems=1 I'll repeat Luis' feedback...we need details on what you're doing and your results. Your situation may require other steps than that the general use case that I listed. Jon -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
