gem_server

[Oliver Robinson]

Have just installed a clean ruby 1.8.5 on windows and ran:

gem update --system

the rdoc server fails to load the index page with an internal server
error: uninitialized constant Gem:ocManager.

Any ideas?

Try `gem server`

 

[Oliver Robinson]

Try `gem server`

Magic! That got it.
Thanks

Well, I updated rubygems, and got this error:
/usr/bin/gem:23: uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner (NameError)

So, I removed and reinstalled rubygems from my repos, (which happened to
be version 0.9.4). This was a clean install, yet I still get this error
no matter what I do..

c0re:/home/haze# gem
/usr/bin/gem:23: uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner (NameError)
c0re:/home/haze# gem server
/usr/bin/gem:23: uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner (NameError)

`run'
from /usr/bin/gem_server:5

Any ideas?

All the gem_server, gemlock, gemwhich and other gem* batch files have
been "deprecated" in favor of gem <command>:

so gem_server became gem server

the problem is that gem update --system isn't doing the same job that
setup.rb is doing: replacing older batch stubs with "stubs" that
indicate deprecation.

HTH,

Luis

I had the same problem on my system. Mine is on ubuntu 7.10. When I
checked out my /usr/bin directory, I found the gem command and the
gem1.8 command. When I run the `gem1.8` command, everything runs
normally. I copied gem1.8 over to gem, and now I can use the gem
command again.

I think that Ubuntu's packaged version of 'rubygems' (the one installed
with Synaptics, Adept, or apg-get) is too old. Remove the packaged
version and install the latest rubygems from
http://rubygems.org/read/chapter/3.

The other side-effect this has is that on Ubunty 7.04 and 7.10, the gem
installation directory moves from /var/lib/gems/... to
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/... I reinstalled all my gems. There may be a way
to play with some environment variables, but it wasn't worth the trouble
to me to keep something working that doesn't follow convention (it's not
the Rails way).
