can anybody decode this error?

[Tim Uckun]

I am trying to install a couple of gems. the gems seem to be building
OK but I get an exception.

Here is the recipe


result = package_manager.install <<-HERE, :with => :gem, :docs => false
ruby-pg
postgres
HERE

puts '--------------------'
puts "result of ruby gems install #{result}"
puts '--------------------'

[Igal Koshevoy]

Tim,

Thanks for the report.

It turns out that the current version of RubyGems changed it's behavior
again and fools AutomateIt into thinking that the installation failed.

I'm working on a fix and will release another version of AutomateIt soon.
