In order to run RSpec’s tests and generate the gem and the website, you must have RubyGems. Then you must install the following gems:

• rake

• rcov

• ParseTree (Ignore the message: test/test_parse_tree.rb:190:38: ‘:’ not followed by identified or operator)

• RubyInline

• webgen

• RedCloth

• syntax

• diff-lcs

Note that RSpec itself - once built - doesn’t have any dependencies outside the Ruby core and stdlib - with a few exceptions:

• The spec command line uses diff-lcs when –diff is specified.

• The test2spec command line uses ParseTree and RubyInline.

• The Spec::Rake::SpecTask needs RCov if RCov is enabled in the task.

See rspec.rubyforge.org for further documentation.
