I am using RVM, Ruby v1.9.3-p125 and Ruby on Rails v3.2.2. On my Ubuntu server I am trying to install the remotipart v1.0.2 gem but I get the following error:

Installing RDoc documentation for remotipart-1.0.2...

$

What does it means? Is the remotipart gem correctly installed? How can I solve the problem?

Answer 1

You could try installing without the documentation to see if it installs correctly then. That would isolate the problem to the documentation.

gem install remotipart -v 1.0.2 --no-ri --no-rdoc
