Rails and RubyGems

[Jim Menard]

I have two issues with installing Rails via RubyGems. I'm on Mac OS X.

First, when asking to install dependencies, the prompts end with "[Yn]
". I hit return, expecting it to default to 'Y'. Instead, I saw

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem:ependencyError)
Required dependency activerecord not installed

It turns out that I must type 'y'.

Second, here's what happens when I try to install everything:

~> sudo gem install rails
Attempting local installation of 'rails'
Local gem file not found: rails.gem
Attempting remote installation of 'rails'
ERROR: While executing gem ... (NameError)
(eval):1:in `class_eval': uninitialized class variable
@@inheritable_attributes_for_base in
CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session

Has anybody else seen this problem? Any suggestions?

Jim

I'm trying to download FormValidator so I can start playing with
Arrow...there is one small problem with the download link on the project
page:

http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/formvalidator

It doesn't work. Does anyone have a copy of this that they could send
me, or does anyone know of a good mirror to dl it. Thanks,

Zach

There's a comment on this page:
http://dev.rubycrafters.com/arrow-manual/whatis.html ...

"Fortunately, Travis Whitton already wrote an excellent Ruby data-validation
library called FormValidator, which is built into Arrow."


- so maybe you already have it ?

This one is a (stupid) bug in 0.7.0 of RubyGems. It's fixed in CVS
and 0.8.0, which will be released tomorrow--I swear

Second, here's what happens when I try to install everything:

I haven't encountered this one. I've installed rails on several
machines several times via RubyGems without a problem. Anyone else?

You can also get it using rpa-base, which may have a newer version.

I believe that's due to the incompability of rails and Ruby 1.9, but
that's just a guess based on a vague recollection of a web/irc/mailing
list/something conversation I can't seem to locate at the moment. ;P

Could be. I'm running 1.9.

David, if you're listening: is there a know problem with Rails and Ruby
1.9?

There is a known problem with Rails and Ruby 1.9; the reason I was
guessing was because you didn't specify that you were running it.

FYI, I think David is traveling internationally right now, so he may
not chime in any time soon.
