Hello,

One porblem with found with Ruby 1.9.2 and current trunk is that during installation, the generated gem specifications are incomplete and lack the versioned file information needed for a successful gem install.

One common problem is the installation of rake itself. See the following git for the full list of commands:

http://gist.github.com/570419

After doing gem install rake, rake doesn't work:

 $ rake --version
 rake, version 0.8.7
 
 $ gem install rake
 Successfully installed rake-0.8.7
 1 gem installed
 
 $ rake --version
 /Users/luis/.portile/apps/x86_64-apple-darwin10.4.0/ruby/1.9.3-trunk/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:340:in `bin_path': can't find executable rake for rake-0.8.7 (Gem::Exception)
 	from /Users/luis/.portile/apps/x86_64-apple-darwin10.4.0/ruby/1.9.3-trunk/bin/rake:19:in `'
 

This issue is solved by removing the non-versioned .gemspec files (or actually renaming them with version.

Attached is a patch that adds the version to the gemspec in rbinstall script.

With it applied:

 $ rake --version
 /Users/luis/.portile/apps/x86_64-apple-darwin10.4.0/ruby/1.9.3-trunk/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake/alt_system.rb:32: Use RbConfig instead of obsolete and deprecated Config.
 rake, version 0.8.7
 

This change should also be backported into 1.9.2 branch.

Thank you.

Why does gem command try to install another rake, even when the
same version is installed already?

AFAIK this has been how RubyGems behave for quite some time, and mimic
the pristine command too, which uses the cached .gem

However, it should be attempting to install it, so I think a bug
report should be addressed in RubyGems and then merged back into Ruby.

Anyhow, the bug report I open up is not about that, the versions been
the same is just a coincidence. I could have pick rdoc as better
example.
