I've been trying to install Sass on Gentoo, but it hasn't been going too well. Unfortunately, the latest version of Sass in portage is 3.1.21. What I want to use Sass for requires at least Sass 3.2, which is available through rubygems.
What I've tried:
emerge dev-ruby/sass (installs an old version)gem install sassThe second command appears to install the Sass gem. However, I do not use Rails or Ruby in any other aspect apart from Sass, so the gem appears useless to me. In addition, I do not know where gems are installed to or how to use them (I'm a ruby noob.) All I want to do is call sass from the command line.
Are there any ways to obtain an up-to-date version of Sass which I can just use from the command line?
Cheers.
On Gentoo, user-installed gems are not in your PATH by default. I have created a bug report because while user-installed gems work much better than they used to, this problem really needs to be rectified. You can help by voicing your opinion in the report and linking back to this page. To get things working, you can either deploy the script I uploaded to the report or use RVM instead, which will give you much more consistent behaviour across distros.
