From: Jaime Stuardo on 30 Mar 2010 16:31 Hello everybody... I want to install Redmine Project Management in my PC (Windows XP), whose requirement is Ruby On Rails. So I need to install Ruby on my machine and it is at that point where I've got my first problems. Other requirements of Redmine are RubyGems 1.3.1 and Rake 0.8.3. Well, First, I have downloaded Ruby from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167 and installed it. It worked well. Then I have downloaded RubyGems from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126 and installed it. It worked well too. Now I have problems installing Rails. The page http://rubyonrails.org/download says that to install rails I have to issue this command: gem install rails. After I issued that command, this error was shown: ERROR: http://rubygems.org/ does not appear to be a repository ERROR: could not find gem rails locally or in a repository I thought I have to download Rails and place somewhere in my disk, so I downloaded rails-2.2.3.tar file but I don't know how can I tell gem to load it and install it. By the way, that file was downloaded from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=307 and strangely although the file name should be rails-2.2.3.gem, it was downloaded as rails-2.2.3.tar. Well... giving up with Rails installation, I continued with Rake. I have downloaded it and in this case I uncompressed the tar file and then execute the install.rb file with ruby command but I got an error concerning ftools. ruby c:\rake\install.rb c:/rake/install.rb:3:in `require': no such file to load -- ftools (LoadError) from c:/rake/install.rb:3:in `<main>' Well.... to finish fighting with this, I searched for ftools and I have found that it belongs to the ruby standard library. Well, I downloaded the file ruby-doc-stdlib-0.10.1.tar and uncompress it. Then, after changing to that directory, I issued the ruby command again, getting another error: ruby install.rb install.rb:86: formal argument cannot be an instance variable ...on to DIR/stdlib") { |@doc_base| } ... ^ Finally I gave up and decided to ask to the list. Why is so difficult to install it? Can you please point me in the right direction? Thanks a lot in advanced, Jaime

From: Jaime Stuardo on 31 Mar 2010 09:25 Hello... This is the information you requested. RubyGems Environment: - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.6 - RUBY VERSION: 1.9.1 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 378) [i386-mingw32] - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: C:/Ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1 - RUBY EXECUTABLE: C:/Ruby19/bin/ruby.exe - EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: C:/Ruby19/bin - RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS: - ruby - x86-mingw32 - GEM PATHS: - C:/Ruby19/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1 - C:/Documents and Settings/jstuardo/.gem/ruby/1.9.1 - GEM CONFIGURATION: - :update_sources => true - :verbose => true - :benchmark => false - :backtrace => false - :bulk_threshold => 1000 - REMOTE SOURCES: - http://rubygems.org/ I am administrator of my computer. Rake version is rake-0.8.7 downloaded from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=50 What do you mean it is distributed as a gem? From the link above it is mentioned the file as rake-0.8.7.gem, but when I click on it, a .tar file is downloaded. Finally, I tell you that I downloaded rails-2.2.3.gem from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=307 but the same as above, a .tar file was actually downloaded.

You should not need to download any gems manually. Installing Ruby, rebooting if necessary, then typing things in the command line should be enough: gem update rubygems gem install rails .. It -should- download and install rails for you. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Do you need to configure your browser with proxy settings before you can access the Internet? If so I think you'll need to tell Ruby that too. (Unix would be http_proxy environment variable, not sure about Windows) You could also see what this does: telnet gems.rubyforge.org 80 GET / HTTP/1.0 (then hit enter twice). If you get a page of HTML back, you don't need a proxy. If it fails to connect at all, maybe you do. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. |
