Does that solve the "gems are not automatically distributed via
rubyforge problem"?

I'm afraid it's not under our control. Ask RubyGems maintainers.

It's just a configuration problem. What were you using before
preview1? And what are load paths for it?

Do you mean the YAML related problem?
Trying to install a gem with ruby 1.8.2 created by ruby 1.8.4
still gives:
ERROR: Error installing gem pkg/rant[.gem]: parse error on line 0,
col 31: `!ruby/object:Gem::Specification '

Gems created with ruby 1.8.2 work with all ruby 1.8.x (including
1.8.4) versions.

Stefan

It's just a configuration problem. What were you using before
preview1? And what are load paths for it?

1.8.3 from Ubuntu repository. Load paths were the same but without the
/ruby/, i.e. /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8

Do you mean the YAML related problem?
Trying to install a gem with ruby 1.8.2 created by ruby 1.8.4
still gives:
ERROR: Error installing gem pkg/rant[.gem]: parse error on line 0,
col 31: `!ruby/object:Gem::Specification '

Gems created with ruby 1.8.2 work with all ruby 1.8.x (including

Then you have to type

./configure --with-sitedir=/usr/local/lib/site_ruby

Then you have to type

./configure --with-sitedir=/usr/local/lib/site_ruby

I see. Thanks. Though I've got a better idea: I've dumped Ubuntu/Debian
and switched to GoboLinux
