Regards, Dan By: Daniel Berger RE: gem install sys-host does not work [ reply ]   2008-10-21 03:51 What platform is this? And what version of ruby? Or, just paste the results of "gem environment". Thanks, Dan By: Daniel Berger RE: gem install sys-host does not work [ reply ]   2008-10-21 03:50 In both cases you will have to install from source (or build the gem locally and install it). At the moment, rubygems platform handling does not work well with these packages. Will keep you posted. Regards, Dan By: Brad Smith RE: gem install sys-host does not work [ reply ]   2008-10-20 13:50 I am having the same problem with sys-proctable, have you found a solution? I think maybe has to do with kernel headers? Thanks, Brad By: Designing Patterns gem install sys-host does not work [ reply ]   2008-08-27 16:13 I am able to manually download sys-host sys-host-0.6.0.tar.gz, unpack, rake install_gem successfully. However, if I instead try to install to run: gem install sys-host, this fails. [root@jackfruit ~/temp]# gem install sys-host Building native extensions. This could take a while...
