GEM_HOME is where the party's at

I was having an issue when I issued the following command:

c:\myrailsapp\mongrel_rails start

..buncha error stuff...
mongrel_service/init.rb (LoadError)

This was partly my fault. Since I had been trying to load local gems and setting my gem repository to the current. At anyrate, here is the following info to know about GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH.

  • GEM_PATH
    • This is where the gems are that will be "read"
  • GEM_HOME
    • Should the gems need to write anything, this is where they will be written to

RubyJax is almost here!

The premiere of the new RubyJax usergroup is happening tomorrow in the Neptune Beach area! It's main focus will be Ruby and Rails, but all technology workers are welcome. The more the merrier.

If you want to evangelize your development language of choice, that's ok.
