Hi all.

My repository has not been down. And it is still up.

If you cant reach it - try to enter this address into your URL in your browser:
http://maemorepo.kaspernj.org

You should be redirected to this thread, if you reach it. If you cant reach it, try to do a:

"dig maemorepo.kaspernj.org"

...and give me the output.

On Windows you can do a ping instead:

ping maemorepo.kaspernj.org

I have previously installed gems from source which ran ok (but not optified) and wanted to try your version to have something optified.

gem1.8 i know... it threw me for a loop too but you can ln-s /usr/bin/gem1.8 /usr/bin/gem
then continue to use gem as you've become accustom

Ok, I am having a go at this now and running these commands in xterm. (Feel like bit of a hacker). I think everything has installed ok. How do I test or use this now for iplayer?

Trying this for iPlayer and can't get pass the first step... where do I download the repository as I don't see a download link, only http://maemorepo.kaspernj.org which loops me back to this thread...

that didn't help, /usr/bin/gem is already there, it's symlinked to /home/opt/ruby/bin/gem .

when I run /usr/bin/gem I still get the message "-sh: gem: not found"

Any other ideas?
Cheers,
Fabian

Yes - if you try accessing the repository by a HTTP-browser, then you will be redirected to this thread. Since I placed the instructions for setting up the repository in this thread, this is where you will be redirected.

Chances are that if you dont even know how to set up the repository, you shouldnt be playing with all the command-line-stuff, since that may also be a bit hard for you.

There is no "download link" for the applications - you will have to set up a new repository in your applications-manager as described multiple places in this and other threads, and then use apt-get to install them.

Anyways - keep the iPlayer-messages in the iPlayer-thread - this thread has little to do with iPlayer.

What happens if you go to "/opt/ruby/bin" and executes the following command:

Code:
./gem
Based on what you have written, it looks like the package have sat everything up as it should have.

If you have a "gem1.8" - you are properly using the Ruby-packages from the devel-repository. I do not support anything from these packages sorry - they arent even optified or contain Gtk.

gem1.8 has not been there and I've manually deleted all gem stuff from before. The repository source is a good hint. Is there a way to determine from which repo a file comes?

Cheers,

If you have manually removed some stuff, that could mean that you have f**ked up your packages.

Have you configured the extras-devel repository? If so - remove it.

Then do a:
Code:
apt-get remove --purge ruby ruby1.8 libruby1.8 iplayer-dl
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-cache search ruby
If you still find ruby1.8 - then you still have the extras-devel enabled.

If not - you can do try to install it again:
Code:
apt-get install ruby ruby-gems

I have found several problems regarding networking with TCP in the version of Ruby, which I had in my repository. I replaced it with a working version some days ago.

I have also given my version of Ruby a higher version-number, which makes it replace the version in the extras-devel.
