Greetings,

I am trying to install rubygems on a clean install of Tiger. It gives me the message that rubygems is missing. Well, that is what I am trying to install. Please give me some help.

Joe.

Hi Joe!

The problem is that you have RUBYOPT set to require rubygems, but you
haven't yet installed RubyGems.

% setenv RUBYOPT # Assuming this is how you blank out a variable in
csh---I haven't used it in a while
% sudo ruby setup.rb
