Re: [Fxruby-users] RE: [Q] Alternatives to the source RubyGem format?

Hi Jeff,

Having reread the error messages you got,  I think my suggestion of changing
the working directory was useless.  Sorry for wasting your time.  I don't
run Linux on any of my systems currently and never new it well enough anyway
to by able to make any useful suggestion.

Regards,
Richard
