Hi!
I'd like to install ruby-netcdf, but my netcdf-installation is in a non-standard directory. Is there any possibility to call
gem install ruby-netcdf
with additional options so that the extconf.rb is called with an option like
ruby extronf,rb --with-netcdf-dir=/PATH/TO/NETCDFROOT
instead of plain
ruby extconf.rb
thanks for hints

Read `gem help install` will set you free:
$ gem help install
Usage: gem install GEMNAME [GEMNAME ...] [options] -- --build-flags
[options]
...
If an extension fails to compile during gem installation the gem
specification is not written out, but the gem remains unpacked in
the
repository. You may need to specify the path to the library's
headers and
libraries to continue. You can do this by adding a -- between
RubyGems'
options and the extension's build options:
$ gem install some_extension_gem
[build fails]
Gem files will remain installed in \
/path/to/gems/some_extension_gem-1.0 for inspection.
Results logged to
/path/to/gems/some_extension_gem-1.0/gem_make.out
$ gem install some_extension_gem --
--with-extension-lib=/path/to/lib
[build succeeds]
Thanks Luis!
