RE: [Myexperiment-discuss] Detailed Installation Instructions for myExperiment

[Linde, A.E.]

Hi David,

Probably some sort of Ubuntu problem then - I did uninstall and reinstall and 
it happened with several components, not just hoe.

Anyway, I've just completed all the instructions and now have the full codebase 
installed and working. The instructions were great: all spot on. A really 
useful addition. If I can find out the rdoc problem I'll send it on.

Cheers,
Tony.

Hi Tony,

Don and I have never encountered this problem.  It seems as though you may
have half-installed hoe before and that's why you are getting the error
message below.  The only thing I can suggest is uninstalling hoe (gem
uninstall hoe) before running the command that install all the gems in one
go.

Because the Gem repository is continually evolving it is likely that a set
of gem commands that work one day on one system will not work perfectly on
another day on another system.  Thanks for your feedback; it has allowed us
to generalise the set of instructions provided in developers.txt so future
users will hopefully have less problems.

Thanks and Regards
