Unfortunately, this particular computer [ http://www.cisl.ucar.edu/computers/bluevista/] cannot communicate with the outside Internet... it only accepts ssh connections... I've installed Ruby and rubygems. However, I can't install funit, because gem times out while trying to find updates for the packages: gem install funit > :/homebv/schmitt/cism/LTR-para/common/test/funit/dependencies/lib > ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError) > Connection timed out - connect(2) (Errno::ETIMEDOUT) > getting size of http://gems.rubyforge.org/Marshal.4.8 > gmake: *** [build_funit] Error 1 > The only workaround I've thought of is running a gem server on this particular computer, hosting the appropriate gems needed... but that seems like kind of a hassle. Do you have any ideas for a work-around? Is it possible to get a stand-alone distribution of funit, ala cxxtest [ http://cxxtest.sourceforge.net/]?

Download the gem to a computer that can scp it onto the firewalled machine. Then install it directly, i.e., other% scp funit-0.9.2.gem bluevista: bluevista% sudo gem install --local funit-0.9.2.gem > Is it possible to get a stand-alone distribution of funit, ala cxxtest Unfortunately, that's still on the TODO list. The plan is to use Erik Veenstra's RubyScript2Exe: http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/rubyscript2exe/ Patches most welcome! Regards, -- Bil Kleb http://nasarb.rubyforge.org/funit
