Hi,

I just released the following gems:

bson-1.2.rc1
bson-1.2.rc1-java
bson_ext-1.2.rc1

Now, when I run

gem install bson

Gem always attempts to install bson_ext. Why would this be? Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug here? This should be easy to replicate on your end.

Thanks,
Kyle

   Here's some more info:

   If I install mongo, which depend on bson, then the install progress correctly:

   [kyle@ubuntu ruby-driver$]$ gem install mongo Successfully installed bson-1.2.rc1-java
   Successfully installed mongo-1.2.rc1
   2 gems installed
   Installing ri documentation for bson-1.2.rc1-java...
   Installing ri documentation for mongo-1.2.rc1...
   Installing RDoc documentation for bson-1.2.rc1-java...
   Installing RDoc documentation for mongo-1.2.rc1...

   But if I just try installing bson by itself, notice that it attempts to install bson_ext.

   [kyle@ubuntu ruby-driver$]$ gem install bson Building native extensions. This could take a while...
   ERROR: Error installing bson:
   

   ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

   Results logged to /home/kyle/.rvm/gems/jruby-1.5.6/gems/bson_ext-1.2.rc1/ext/cbson/gem_make.out

   The same happens on other platforms:
   [kyle@ubuntu ruby-driver$]$ rvm 1.8.7 [kyle@ubuntu ruby-driver$]$ gem install bson Building native extensions. This could take a while...
   Successfully installed bson_ext-1.2.rc1
   1 gem installed

   Bizarre, right?

   Hmm. Strangely enough, this does seem to be working okay on a different machine. Not sure what to make of it, but we can probably close this for now.

   Hey Kyle, sorry about the delayed response here.

   Pretty much all of the indexes get updated at the same time, not sure how this would happen. Was this happening on RG 1.4+ ?

   Thanks, Nich. It was with 1.3.6. But I haven't seen the issue crop up again, so I believe we can consider this resolved.
