DevKit installation failure on «ruby dk.rb init»

[Павел Радьков]

Hello,

I have troubles with installation DevKit.

When I run «ruby dk.rb init» I've got an error:

c:\DevKit>ruby dk.rb init

[INFO] found RubyInstaller v1.9.3 at C:/Ruby193

C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/1.9.1/win32/registry.rb:173:in `tr': invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 (ArgumentError)

        from dk.rb:146:in `init'

        from dk.rb:313:in `run'

        from dk.rb:332:in `<main>'

The following line from registry.rb is :         super msg.tr("\r", '').chomp

My system: Win7 x64 RU. 

In user variables I have LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 (maybe that matters)

Please help!

What is your codepage?

(run chcp in cmd.exe)

Can you try adding the following line to the top of dk.rb?

# encoding: UTF-8

Save and try again?

Definitely it could be.

Can you try setting a latin based codepage instead and execute again?

Seems to be a bug of dk.rb, so once we figure it out the details let's
open an issue on GitHub.

PS: Sorry took so long to notice your message, Google Groups didn't
email us (admins) about it.

Yeah, problem was in LANG variable.

I've deleted LANG, restart system and the rest of DevKit installation goes smooth.

Great thanks for response!
