Err... there's 'sources'... not sure if that helps... If you're talking
about gem dependencies though... heh.

Can someone please expand the "Hint"? -- I'm an
impatient bonehead;

$ sudo gem update

So I just

$ gem_server

and pointed my browser at http://localhost:8808

Thanks,

$ sudo gem update
$ ri Hoe

puts `gem -v`; ri doc generation is new to 0.9, IIRC.

It could be one of two things. Either you don't have the right
version of ri/rdoc (1.8.5 has built in rubygem ri support) or rdoc/ri
wasn't generated for some unknown reason.

% gem -v

% ruby -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2006-03-04) [i686-darwin8.6.2]
% gem list hoe

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

hoe (1.0.4)
Hoe is a way to write Rakefiles much easier and cleaner.
% ri Hoe | head -2
------------------------------------------------------------- Class: Hoe
hoe - a tool to help rake

For the latter: sudo gem rdoc Hoe

If you aren't in a position to upgrade ruby/gems at this point in
time, you're stuck with gem_server or going to http://
seattlerb.rubyforge.org/hoe/

Same (or similar) problem here, but with all gems, not just Hoe:

$ gem install Hoe

BUT: in my case _none_ of my installed gems are found by ri, even though
their docs are all in the usual place, /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/doc.

Passing the path explicitly doesn't seem to help either:

$ ri -d /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/doc Hoe
Nothing known about Hoe
$ ri -d /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 Hoe
Nothing known about Hoe
$ ri -d /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems Hoe

As I said, you need ruby 1.8.5.

Ok, `ri Hoe` succeeds with 1.8.5. I was holding off on 1.8.5 because it
broke some other things grumble grumble....

Get ZenTest's multiruby!

sudo gem install zentest

Later,

 

[Joel VanderWerf]

Get ZenTest's multiruby!

sudo gem install zentest

Good advice, but actually, 1.8.5 didn't break my code but rather FXRuby.
It's a bug in 1.8.5, as I understand. The bug is reported, but I don't
know the status. Maybe it is fixed in snapshots. I am still considering
1.8.4 as the latest stable...

 

[Joel VanderWerf]

With 1.8.4, use gemri instead.

Thanks! didn't know about that one.
