fpm installation error

[Nathan West]

Hey all, I'm not very familiar with ruby in general and am stuck on the simple fpm install.

I've tried also installing the 2.8.0 version of backports, and am able to 'make' fpm. However, it errors at the end:

# make rpm

Makefile:33: warning: overriding commands for target `clean'

Makefile.ext:15: warning: ignoring old commands for target `clean'

fpm -s dir -t rpm -n lumberjack -v 0.0.30 --prefix /opt/lumberjack \

--exclude '*.a' --exclude 'lib/pkgconfig/zlib.pc' -C build \

--description "a log shipping tool" \

--url "https://github.com/jordansissel/lumberjack" \

#

Uninstalling all backports versions, and trying this doesn't get me anywhere either:

# sudo gem install fpm

Successfully installed backports-3.3.0

Successfully installed ftw-0.0.33

Successfully installed fpm-0.4.35

3 gems installed

Installing ri documentation for backports-3.3.0...

RDoc failure in lib/backports/1.9.1/math/log.rb at or around line 4 column 29

Before reporting this, could you check that the file

you're documenting compiles cleanly--RDoc is not a

full Ruby parser, and gets confused easily if fed

invalid programs.

The internal error was:

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)

    undefined method `add_require' for nil:NilClass

Anything else I can try??

Thanks.

This is a bug, not something you have done wrong

I release a new ftw gem that should fix this. If you 'gem uninstall fpm ftw' and reinstall fpm it should work.

Everything installed perfectly. Thanks for the quick response Jordan!
