When I make and install Ruby, the output at the end looks as follows:

installing default gems:      /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0 (build_info, cache, doc, extensions, gems, specifications)
                              bundler 1.15.4
                              ...
                              webrick 1.4.0.beta1
installing default gems:      /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0 (build_info, cache, doc, extensions, gems, specifications)
                              bigdecimal 1.3.2
                              ...
                              zlib 0.1.0
installing bundled gems:      /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0 (build_info, cache, doc, extensions, gems, specifications)
                              did_you_mean-1.1.2.gem
                              ...
                              xmlrpc-0.3.0.gem

It's unclear what the distinction between the first and the second batch of "default gems" is. I suggest either merging the categories or making clear why there are two categories.

Martin,

You're probably already aware, for those not, first set are 'pure ruby' gems, the second set are 'extension' gems, which require compiling.

I guessed.

Okay, then what about
'installing default pure ruby gems' and 'installing default extension gems'. Another solution may be to remove the 'extensions, ' text inside the parentheses in the first group.

Yet another alternative is to have just a single list.

It is a directory name automatically created by Gem.install.
