Re: [Gems-users] extention-makefile

[Dan Gibson <degibson@xxxxxxxx>]

Can you please verify that your symlinks are correct as described in the 
Wiki setup page?
Your problem sounds like Ruby's commands.py file isn't available.

the correct symlinks should look something like this:
bash(1)% cd $GEMS/simics/src/extensions/ruby
bash(2)% ls -al
total 9
