Hi everybody

when I

sudo gem install gosu

I get

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.

I have no idea where to search for this mkmf.log file and I have no idea why it fails in the first place.

thanks

I assume you are on Linux, if not, your installation of Rubygems somehow tries to install a gem for the wrong platform :)

Do you have the prerequisites listed here? -> http://code.google.com/p/gosu/wiki/GettingStartedOnLinux

I'm not sure if there is a reasonable way to integrate their installation in the gem build process.

nevermind.
I should have RTFM -> http://code.google.com/p/gosu/wiki/GettingStartedOnLinux
and installed the dependencies.
Seems to work now.

No problem, the error message should really be more helpful! :) I'll put it on the To Do to at least print the requirements at the start of the gem installation.
