From: "Dominique N." Date: 2012-04-02T19:36:59+09:00 Subject: install unicode gem in ruby1.8.7 Hi there, I don't understand why the gem install of unicode goes wrong. I am working on opensuse12.1 32b, here's the output: gem install unicode --remote Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing unicode: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb creating Makefile make Makefile:119: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop. Gem files will remain installed in /home/dom/:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gems/unicode-0.4.2 for inspection. Results logged to /home/dom/:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gems/unicode-0.4.2/./gem_make.out Thanks for your insights. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
