    Getting Jekyll to work

    Hi!

    Did anyone get Jekyll to work so far? Let's create a thread to share the experiences.

    Awhile ago I've got git installed locally, so this wouldn't be a problem.

    I figured that installing Jekyll from a gem would the the easiest way to get it going, but the trick is that rubygems >= 1.3.6 require ruby 1.8.6+ which is not something one could get on RHEL5 unless one builds it himself or uses third-party repositories.

    rubygems 1.3.5 didn't want to install either, because rdoc / ri available on RHEL5 are just not installed here for whatever reason. Unless I gonna get a positive reply to my TT it sounds like the idea is pretty much doomed...

    Ideas?

    As Andrew helpfully installed ri/rdoc, all the gems except for classifier got in. classifier is a native extension (requires ruby-dev + compiler) which I can't see a way of getting to work.

    Let's see why Jekyll needs classifier at all and if this can be worked around in any other possible way...

      Just for the record, I've got it running. w00t!

      I guess I have to write a blog post about this now

      P.S. The classifier is needed for related posts functionality. I didn't try if my trick worked, but at least Jekyll is running.
