Description mlins 2007-05-20 02:38:44 UTC 
After switching to the native ruby binary, the built-in gem manager fails to work.

Error:

"gem" cannot be found on your system. interpreter. null not found.
Comment 1 mlins 2007-05-20 02:48:25 UTC 
Sorry, I'm new to the mac world.  It appears the ruby binary that ships with OS
X is bad.
Comment 2 Torbjorn Norbye 2007-05-20 06:03:20 UTC 
Yep! An easy  way to get a full Ruby install for OSX is to get Locomotive - http://locomotive.raaum.org/ 
(or build Ruby from source; it's not very hard but definitely more work than installing Locomotive - and 
you have to have all the compilers installed.)
Comment 3 Torbjorn Norbye 2007-05-22 01:44:49 UTC 
By the way, I've updated the code such that on the Mac, if you're trying to use Gem and I see that you're 
using /usr/bin/ruby, you get a customized error message stating that gem is not found and that you're 
using /usr/bin/ruby on the mac which has known problems - along with a pointer to http://
wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/RubyInstallationMac.

Reassigning this issue to newly created 'ruby' component.
Comment 5 Jiri Kovalsky 2007-07-03 14:37:43 UTC 
Changing target milestone of all resolved Ruby issues from TBD to 6.0 Beta 1 build.
