Hello, I would really like to learn more about memoization but unfortunately the gem doesnt seem to install properly on my system (Ubuntu Linux) and I was told that in order to get downloaded gems to work I would probably have to uninstall the apt versions of ruby and rebuild everything from source. I dont really want to do that, so I was wondering if the memoization library is small enough that I could just put a copy into my path and include it that way, rather than as an installed gem. Does that sound like a sane alternative, or is my only option to rip the ruby deb's out of my system and start from scratch? -- Alex Combas http://noodlejunkie.blogspot.com/
