Hi all/

I'm frustrated by not being able to completely and correctly compile the latest and the greatest GEM and certain other extensions I use everyday to build GEM patches. My efforts have been sadly chronicled on this list for the past several months.

So I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier if I used the same distribution as GEM's devel people??
1/ Is it correct to assume GEM etc... will compile correctly if I'm using the same distribution as the people developing it; and
2/ which distribution do most or all of GEM's developers use (though I think Debian is the correct answer to this one)?

I'm currently using Fedora FC4 for both desktop and server apps, and I'm otherwise happy with it.

Thanks /Brad.
