Psych::SyntaxError

[Andreas Ronge]

Hi

Looks like there is a problem installing neo4j-community (and the other JAR gems) using some versions of rubygems

Example:

$ gem --version

2.0.3

$ gem install neo4j-community

Fetching: neo4j-community-1.8.1-java.gem (100%)

ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Psych::SyntaxError)

    (<unknown>): 'reader' unacceptable character '€' (0x80) special characters are not allowed

in "'reader'", position 402 at line 0 column 0

The solution is to downgrade the rubygems.

Example:

$ gem update --system 1.8.24

$ gem --version

1.8.24

$ gem uninstall neo4j-community

$ gem install neo4j-community

Fetching: neo4j-community-1.8.1-java.gem (100%)

Successfully installed neo4j-community-1.8.1-java

1 gem installed

$

Thanks a lot Jon Bardin !

Cheers

I am running into this same thing right now on a server intended for production.
