ruby on rails again

[zee_man78]

hello you all,

it's me again! yeah

unfortunately on the machine where ruby's running i don't have internet
access

i have [ruby 1.8.2 (2005-04-11)] [i386-linux]

my ruby is finally running under apache and everything's doing well,
but i'd like to put this rails thing too.

i downloaded rubygems-0.8.10.tgz and rubygems-update-0.8.10.gem and
installed them. no error messages everything's OK.

after i downloaded rails-0.12.1.gem, gem install rails-0.12.1.gem no
error messages everything looks OK.

and then i try to create a rail thing: rails /www/rubi/rails/test

errors:
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:194: in `report_active_error`:
Could not find RubyGem rake (>=0.5.3) (Gem::LoadError)
from /usr/local/libe/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:136:in `activate`

my question is that: does anybody has a full package to install, or do
i have to deal with all the "could-not-find" errors until i find them
all?

thank you
zM

Hi zM,

On the machine that you have where you can download gems you want to
make sure you include dependencies...

gem install rails --include-dependencies

This will download alot of other gems like:
- rake
- actionmailer
- actionpack
- actionwebservice
- activerecord
- activesupport
- rails

This will most likely put everything in:

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/

Copy all of the files in there over to your non-internet based computer
and you should be ok.

hello zdennis,

this is the situation:
i have a win xp computer wich is connected to the internet through
modem. i don't have any kind of developing tool on it.

and i have a laptop with debian 3.1. the problem is that i use walmart
connect and they don't support linux so i cannot go online with my
laptop

do you think i can install ruby on my windows (and the gems) and after
put everything to my linux?

thank U

zM

Take a look at penggy: http://freshmeat.net/projects/penggy/
According to what I've read, it allows you to connect to AOL and Compuser=
ve
using Linux, and Walmart Connect is said to be just a rebranded Compuserv=
e.
There is a Debian package for it so you may be able to grab it from
http://packages.debian.org and put it on a CD (or maybe it's already on y=
our
Debian CDs or DVDs if you have them all, but in that case you would have =
Ruby
on them too, although it would only be 1.8.2).

do you think i can install ruby on my windows (and the gems) and after
put everything to my linux?

That's quite simple: no. While the pure Ruby parts will probably work unc=
hanged
from Windows to Linux, the binaries (among which Ruby itself!) won't. Bin=
aries
are OS specific and thus can't simply be copied from one OS to another. M=
aybe
they would work with WINE, but since Ruby exists natively for Linux, that=
's
kind of a waste.

If you want to install Ruby to Debian you need to use the debs. You can a=
lways
grab them from http://packages.debian.org, but you'll have to take care o=
f all
the dependencies yourself (you can't use apt or synaptic with separate de=
bs).
Or check whether it isn't already on your Debian CDs. But I would really =
try
the penggy solution if I were you. Debian is a great OS, but it really sh=
ows
its greatness only once it's connected to Internet (don't you have a frie=
nd
with a more "normal" kind of Internet connection? Since your Debian compu=
ter is
a laptop, you could ask to use his connection, at least for the installat=
ion of
penggy. If his connection allows DHCP you can easily connect Debian).

It takes a straight mind to create a twisted conlang.
