Weird gem install message about paint HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for testing :D

What OS, Ruby version and terminal are you using?

from paint.

It should look like this ;)

Sorry for the lack of information, here it is:

OS: Arch Linux, uname -a: Linux ikarus 2.6.39-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 6 22:37:55 CEST 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5800 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

ruby -v: ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18 revision 30909) [x86_64-linux]

RubyGems version: 1.8.5

Terminal: gnome-terminal 3.0.1

Terminal font is the default "Monospace" font, font size 11.

The issue Qunitus is having is a terminal related issue. For whatever reason, gnome-terminal doesn't handle the extended drawing characters?

Perhaps something like "UTF-8" mode needs to be turned on for that to work.

Perhaps something like "UTF-8" mode needs to be turned on for that to work.

I think my language settings are quite UTF-8:

$ locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Shouldn't be the problem therefore.

Valete,
Quintus

PS: Same with sudo:

$ sudo locale

Strange - I also use gnome-terminal and don't have the issue (with ubuntu)...

I am closing this thread, because it's not directly related to the gem. However, if you find something interesting about this issue, please (also) post it here ;)

Hi,
I'm still getting bad things on Fedora 15/Ruby 1.8.7 with this message. I've commented your last commit here: 096bc04#comments
Please consider it carefully :)
