Installation on Arch Linux

If you already have RubyGems installed, getting started with spomskyd should be easy. These instructions are tested on my Arch Linux machines, but should work fine on any distro from Planet Earth (ie, not Debian-based). 

sudo gem sources --add http://gems.github.com
sudo gem install adammck-spomskyd
spomskyd --backend=GSM

Installation on Ubuntu Jaunty

Installing spomskyd on Ubuntu has always been painful, because of the changes that Debian (on which Ubuntu is based) make to the RubyGems system. Thankfully, most of these problems have gone away with Jaunty (9.04). The following seems to work: 

# prepare the system for building gems
sudo apt-get install build-essential ruby1.8-dev rubygems

# install spomskyd, which will pull in
# all of the dependencies automatically
sudo gem sources --add http://gems.github.com
sudo gem install adammck-spomskyd

# add the rubygems bin to $PATH, so we can use the 
# executables without specifying the entire path
sudo echo 'PATH=/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin:$PATH' > /etc/profile.d/rubygems1.8.sh
. /etc/profile.d/rubygems1.8.sh

# launch spomksyd!
spomskyd --backend=GSM
