As Shankar Unni says, don't try to install gem for cygwin using the gem that comes with the Ruby One-Click Installer for Windows. Instead, get the tarball and install it using the included script. Since rubygems is pure ruby, you don't have to worry about having a compiler installed. It should just work with what the default cygwin install plus ruby and its dependencies. To install it, do the following steps:
1. Download tarball from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126 (currently rubygems-0.9.3.tgz) 2. Unpack the tarball 3. Go into the directory containing setup.rb 4. Type ruby setup.rb install -- Ben On 5/14/07, Ronald Fischer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I installed ruby for cygwin, using the cygwin setup program: $ ruby --version ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12) [i386-cygwin] To my surprise, this does not install the "gem" command, which is normally part of Ruby 1.8.5: $ which ruby /usr/bin/ruby $ ls /usr/bin/gem ls: cannot access /usr/bin/gem: No such file or directory How can I get the gem command for cygwin? Or can I simply use the "gem" command from the normal (Windows-) installation of Ruby?
