Does that solve the "gems are not automatically distributed via
rubyforge problem"?

best regards,

I'm afraid it's not under our control. Ask RubyGems maintainers.

I tried 1.8.4-preview1, and I can no longer require anything :-(

It's just a configuration problem. What were you using before
preview1? And what are load paths for it?

Do you mean the YAML related problem?
Trying to install a gem with ruby 1.8.2 created by ruby 1.8.4
still gives:
ERROR: Error installing gem pkg/rant[.gem]: parse error on line 0,=20
col 31: `!ruby/object:Gem::Specification '

Gems created with ruby 1.8.2 work with all ruby 1.8.x (including
1.8.4) versions.

1.8.3 from Ubuntu repository. Load paths were the same but without the
/ruby/, i.e. /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8

Then you have to type

./configure --with-sitedir=/usr/local/lib/site_ruby

I see. Thanks. Though I've got a better idea: I've dumped Ubuntu/Debian
and switched to GoboLinux

Did you mean 1.8.3-preview4? Didn't check that.
