gem error i get (OSX10.2.8 stilll)

[Julian Leviston]

Out of interest, this is the error I get at the moment if I do "gem
update rails"...


Upgrading installed gems...
Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org
ERROR: While executing gem ... (SystemStackError)
stack level too deep


Any ideas?

Hi. can you add --backtrace to the end of the command?

Okay...

gem update rails --backtrace

got:

Illegal instruction

Not all Mac service providers are pretty quick to upgrade though,
wouldn't you say?

I mean, we're still running 10.2.8 on our Xserve - and it's working
perfectly well for everything it does (and that's a fair bit) - I
just can't seem to install Rails properly. I'm running 10.4.2 on my
dev machine, however (and I've got rails up and running beautifully
on it - 0.13.1).

We're going to upgrade to 10.4.2 on the server shortly, though, so it
won't be a problem after that. I'll just have the problem of Apache
2.0. But it does strike me as odd that more people aren't deploying
on 10.2.x.

I wonder - does rails work wonderfully on Apache 2.0? We had a
lot of interesting times getting WebObjects up and running on Apache
2... anyway.

Anyway... thanks for your two cents

Julian.

I am running a rails app on Tiger server on a brand new xserve.
Apache2 gave me problems with random 500 application errors. So I am
running my rails app on Lighttpd/fcgi. It is working wonderfully.
Serving up 30-40,000 page views a day.
