Gem install - Non standard


PREFIX=$HOME
export GEM_HOME=$PREFIX/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
export RUBYLIB=$PREFIX/lib/ruby:$PREFIX/lib/site_ruby/1.8
ruby setup.rb all --prefix=$PREFIX

You may add GEM_HOME and RUBYLIB into your ~/.profile file to automatically load on login.

Also needed to add export RUBYLIB=$RUBYLIB:~/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8
to find the stupid ruby gems

 

What is method_missing?

The Best of Method Missing ( Via Why of RedHanded )

The following is from 10 things you should know about method_missing

1. method_missing is a Ruby kernel method and everyone should know about it.

2. Rails implements some of its funkiest magic with method_missing. When you ask your model to find_by_freaky_column_name, and it does so, that’s because ActiveRecord::Base overrides the kernel’s method_missing method.

3. method_missing is the method of last resort

 

This seems to be the Ruby equivalent of Perl's AUTOLOAD.
