Hello Curt, CH> A public debate over what should or should not be included has occurred CH> several times in the past. As you might expect everyone has their own CH> favorites. I'm sure that a very good case could be made for each possible CH> inclusion, but it is simply not practical to include too many things, and CH> its not possible satisfy everyone. CH> The way I want to address this problem is to include RubyGems in the CH> installer, and then encourage package authors to release their packages in CH> RubyGems format. Then getting ruby-postgres installed on your system would CH> be as simple as running the command "gem install ruby-postgres". But this does still not help on binary extensions. And until the brain dead (assuming the build system for extensions is the same as as the one for the original interpreter) and completely undocumented binary build system "rb_configure.rb" etc. is changed this is a very serious issue. My personal request here is to include "wxruby.0.4" -- Best regards, emailto: scholz at scriptolutions dot com Lothar Scholz http://www.ruby-ide.com CTO Scriptolutions Ruby, PHP, Python IDE 's
