systemtimer (1.2.2) is Failing
for Alex Solleiro (Mac OSX, about 1 year ago)

/Users/alex/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p0/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/installer.rb:483:in `rescue in block in build_extensions': ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)

systemtimer (x.x.x) is Failing
for Philippe (Mac OSX, about 1 year ago)

I am the (co)-author of this gem. Short story : Using this gem in Ruby 1.9 is useless and does not make any sense!

System Timer is trying to work around some limitation of the "green thread" model used in Ruby 1.8 (MRI). See http://ph7spot.com/musings/system-timer for more details.

It is then *irrelevant in a Ruby 1.9* which abandoned the green thread model and embraced native threads (kind of since there is still a global interpreter lock).

Cheers,
- Philippe

systemtimer is Failing
for Edward Ocampo-Gooding (Mac OSX, about 1 year ago)

This gem does not work on 1.9 BUT the author specifically tells you that it’s just not necessary as it was a patch for 1.8’s threading system: http://ph7spot.com/musings/system-timer

Do not use this gem with 1.9. It is not necessary.
