Compass installation

[Jareware]

Hi list,

I'm trying to install Compass on Ubuntu 10.10 Server, but I'm having
trouble getting the latest version:

$ sudo gem -v

1.3.7

$ sudo gem list

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

compass (0.10.6)
haml (3.0.25)

$ compass -v

Compass 0.8.17

How come the version mismatch? Also running the commands give all
kinds of errors. Am I missing something..?

It must be installed in two places with the older version coming first on your PATH. The following commands might give you a hint about where:

which compass
gem which compass

Hunt & pecked on my iPhone... Sorry if it's brief!

Thanks for the quick response!

I actually already installed from github source instead, as I'm a bit
time-pressed. But I'll report back should I run into the issue again!

Cheers,

I just did the install on a new box, and in case someone finds this
post while looking for installation instructions for Ubuntu Maverick,
you need to:

$ sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1

And then use the gem1.9.1 binary to install compass:

$ sudo gem1.9.1 install compass

It's important to note that in case you already have the default 1.8.x
gem binary installed and unintentionally call that one, you'll end up
with the older compass. The gem installer didn't add compass to my
PATH though, so I explicitly added it:

$ ln -s /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/bin/compass ~/bin/compass

HTH,

Having different rubies and gems is best under RVM :)

Ruby has many Inception rules. RVM is another good example of multilevel dreaming (?)

RVM isn't a dream is real ;) For example you can have:

1. Ruby 1.8.7 with rails 2.3.8 and compas 0.10
2. Ruby 1.9.2 with rails 3.0.3 and compass 0.11.pre
