Why do I hate gem?
Sa vedem ce se intampla in timpul unei sesiuni prin care incerc sa instalez gemu cu RMagick.
[aurelian@stalingrad ~]$ gem install rmagick

Gem a devenit metoda standard prin care se instaleaza o librarie/pachet pentru Ruby.
Sistemul pare destul de bine pus la punct si surprinzator chiar functioneaza.
In majoritatea cazurilor.
Nu cunosc toate detaliile privind modalitatea prin care se construieste un astfel de pachet, insa in ultimul timp am intampinat ceva dificultati la instalarea unor extensii "native" ( si libxml-ruby(0.3.8) se comporta asemanator pe FreeBSD).
Nu inteleg insa de ce instalarea nu se opreste imediat cand este intalnita o eroare.
Nu inteleg de ce la sfarsit am primit mesajul prin care am fost anuntat ca libraria respectiva a fost instalata cu succes.
