rubygems in archlinux 0.8 on x86_64

Hi @all

I am searching for rubygems, and AUR tells me it's in the community repos.,
but I can't locate it via pacman, even the community repos. is made available in the conf,
and synced.

So is rubygems not available for x86_64 in 0.8 or what is the matter?

Tnx

The x86_64 community repo doesn't contain all the packages yet as very few TU have a 64bits machine.
Try building the package yourself by using the PKGBUILD from abs.

I tried it via abs, but rubygems isn't in the cvs, just ruby.
So I will have to wait, or install it manually.

Tnx, so far.

abs doesn't fetch the community PKGBUILD by default. You need to uncomment the community repo in /etc/abs/abs.conf (remove the !). In this case, you'll need to get the PKGBUILD  by using the CVS link on rubygems's AUR page (as the package is not in the repo, abs won't get the PKGBUILD):
http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcv … ag=CURRENT

Save the PKGBUILD somewhere, then run makepkg to build the package. As root do
pacman -A rubygems-0.9.0-1.pkg.tar.gz
to install. Hopefully the PKGBUILD won't need any modifications to work for x86_64.

"abs" on a x86_64 system will by default only fetch cvs entries that have already been ported and tagged with "CURRENT-64".

If you want to use "abs" to download 32bit cvs stuff change "default tag=CURRENT-64" entry in the related supfile in /etc/abs to only "CURRENT" ;-)

Community is available in /etc/abs.conf, and the TAG is current-64.
As I don't won't to have 32-Bit Software in my Archllinux64, I will wait,
or compile the sources myself.

But thanks for your hints. I am learned a bit more about archlinux.
