ERROR: dev-ruby/activesupport-1.0.3 failed. !!! Function gems_src_install, Line 53, Exitcode 1 !!! gem install failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. Emerging "rdoc" before activesupport fixes the problem. Maybe rdoc needs to be in the DEPEND of activesupport?
I sorta eliminated this problem by doing these steps: 1. unmerge ruby (I this removed 1.8.0 along with 1.6.*...) 2. unmerge rdoc 3. emerge ruby 4. unmerge activesupport 5. emerge activesupport activesupport emerged okay with these steps...
The latest gems and ruby block rdoc (since it's provided by ruby now), so this should be fixed.
