Problems getting up and running

[Rob Keniger]

I'm not a Ruby developer so please go easy on me.

I'm trying to get bananajour up and running. I've installed the gem
and all dependencies, but I get this when I run bananajour on Mac OS X
10.5.7:

/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems.rb:578:in `report_activate_error':
RubyGem version error: ruby-openid(1.1.4 not ~> 2.0.0)
(Gem::LoadError)

I'm baffled as to why this is, as a gem list --local reports:

ruby-openid (2.1.7, 1.1.4)

Any ideas?

[Dr Nic Williams]

Try uninstalling the gem version you don't need.

sudo gem uninstall ruby-openid

and select the old version to uninstall.

Bananajour doesn't use openid, so I'm guessing this is because of one
of the gems we're requiring.

Let's try requiring bananajour in irb to get a full stack trace and
see what the problem is:

Fire up irb:

$ irb -rrubygems

and paste:

begin
require "bananajour"
rescue Exception => e
puts e.backtrace
raise
end

and then paste the results here.

Excellent, seems to have fixed it. Many thanks.

That doesn't look good...

I think I've fixed the problem, I had a very outdated version of
RubyGems. I've installed 1.3.5 and everything is working great.

Sorry for the trouble!

Yep, it's working great. This is very cool. Thanks for getting the
dancing banana stuck in my head, too...

actionpack-1.13.6.gemspec - wow! I think that is from 2006 or so :)

sudo gem update --system

sudo gem install rails

:)
