installing rubygems under Linux

[Mark Volkmann]

I've recently started using Ruby under Linux as opposed to Windows. I
have Ruby 1.8.2 installed. I'm trying to install rubygems.

When I run "ruby setup.rb" I get "no such file to load -- rbconfig".

I think this is a LOAD_PATH problem. I didn't have a LOAD_PATH
environment variable defined (never needed it under Windows), so I
tried that.

LOAD_PATH=3D.:$RUBY_HOME:$RUBY_HOME/lib

Running "ruby setup.rb" gave the same result, so I tried "ruby -I
$LOAD_PATH setup.rb" and got "No such file to load -- syck".

Do I need to specify LOAD_PATH? What else could I be doing wrong?

I *think* this is an episode of "Setup: CSI"

ruby setup.rb config
ruby setup.rb setup
ruby setup.rb install



But I'm going from memory

The installation instructions just say to run "ruby setup.rb".
I tried your suggestion anyway and got the same result from "ruby
setup.rb config".
This really seems to be a LOAD_PATH issue. What should my LOAD_PATH be
by default?

Mark, rbconfig.rb is a standard part of the ruby distribution that=20
shouldn't be missing from your LOAD_PATH, so
it looks like something weird is going on. Can you do this successfully:
ruby -v -rpp -rrbconfig -e 'pp Config::CONFIG'
If so, the output (rather long) might help us see what's up.
