Not in the directory where I ran gem install. If you run 'gem env' you'll see something like this: ... - GEM PATHS: - /var/lib/gems/1.8 ... Then in that directory you'll see a directory called 'gems' that will contain the source directories for the various gems. mkmf.log should be in the directory containing the failing gem. If you look at the log, there will often be a clue pointing to a missing header file or library. To fix this, you'll typically have to install some kind of development library. For example, on Ubuntu, if you're getting failures installing the ncursesw gem, you'll probably have to install the libncursesw5-dev package. You can find a list of candidate packages by doing 'aptitude search ncursesw'. _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list sup-talk@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
