ruby: no such file to load -- cgi (LoadError)

[Geert De Deckere]

I installed Ack via the commandline:
$ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles
$ git clone git://github.com/protocool/ack-tmbundle.git Ack.tmbundle

Running it in TextMate makes this error pop up: “ruby: no such file to
load -- cgi (LoadError)”.

Anybody has a clue how to fix it? Thank you.

I don't know that anyone on here is familiar with the TextMate
bundle. It's a separate repackaging of the command-line tool.

Andy

Hmm, okay. Well, I hope somebody is familiar with the TextMate bundle,
which can be found here, by the way:

LoadError is a typical error when a library is 'required' but is not
found. I'm not familiar with how textmate uses ruby (although I do
use textmate and the ack bundle). From the error it's probably a
"require 'cgi'" that failed to find the cgi library. Thats normally
part of a standard ruby install.

Go into irb and type "require 'cgi'" and see if that gives you errors
too.

Could you explain "irb" to me? I'd be grateful.

run 'irb' from the command line. Its an interactive ruby console.

You should check out www.ruby-lang.org to learn more.

Good luck,

Thanks, this is the result:

$ irb
>> require 'cgi'
=> true
