#377: macgem crashes while installing any gem ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: amadeusz.jasak+macruby@… | Owner: lsansonetti@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: MacRuby 0.5 Component: MacRuby | Keywords: macgem, gem ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- Comment(by lsansonetti@…): I was able to install the dm-core gem on my environment but it cannot be loaded after because bigdecimal has not been implemented yet. {{{ $ macgem install dm-core WARNING: Installing to ~/.gem since /Library/Frameworks/MacRuby.framework/Versions/0.5/usr/lib/ruby/Gems/1.9.0 and /usr/bin aren't both writable. WARNING: You don't have /Users/lrz/.gem/macruby/1.9.0/bin in your PATH, gem executables will not run. Successfully installed extlib-0.9.13 Successfully installed addressable-2.1.0 Successfully installed dm-core-0.10.1 3 gems installed $ macruby -r rubygems -e "require 'dm-core'; p 42" core:in `raise:': no such file to load -- bigdecimal (LoadError) from core:in `require:' }}} It looks like there is something wrong in your environment. It would be interesting to investigate where exactly in rubygems this "Illformed requirement [nil]" exception is raised. Also, could you try the following: `VM_DISABLE_RBO=1 macgem install dm- core' and let us know if it still fails. -- Ticket URL: <http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/377#comment:6> MacRuby <http://macruby.org/>
