I know is a Rails list, but I know someone has the answer> If gems are pre-compiled, does re-compiling other prereqs mean I need to re-install the gem? I''m installing RMagick, and I had to recompile IMagick (decode_delegate error), the instructions for RM says that RM needs to be recompiled as well - but I used the gem, how should I proceed? For now I''m compiling RM from source just to make sure, but it would be nicer to use the gem, at least in one part of the process... -- - Nic --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: Gems Question
What platform are you on? Windows or a unix variant? Only on windows are binary gems common. Most gems on a unix variant will be compiled from source. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''m on a Mac now, which does explain why the gem installs for windows seemed to go much faster. Thanks for the response. - Nic.
