Error installing panda gem in Windows with InstantRails: No such file or directory - ./.rubyforge/user-config.yml

[Hugo]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install panda_gem in a windows system but it does not
work. I've tried several ways to do this (download tar files, gem
install from repository) and search the forums but I cannot find a
solution...
I've download the tar file, extracted the files and launched rake but
it always shows the following error:

D:\InstRails\rails_apps\myapp\newbamboo-panda_gem\newbamboo-panda_gem-
a054d42>rake local_deploy
(in D:/InstRails/rails_apps/myapp/newbamboo-panda_gem/newbamboo-
panda_gem-a054d42)
Hoe.new {...} deprecated. Switch to Hoe.spec.
** README.txt is missing or in the wrong format for auto-intuiting.
run `sow blah` and look at its text files
rake aborted!

Hi,

Have you tried `rake install`?

Hi Damien,

I've tried what you said and it does not work. It shows the following
error:

Hoe.new {...} deprecated. Switch to Hoe.spec.
** README.txt is missing or in the wrong format for auto-intuiting.
run `sow blah` and look at its text files
rake aborted!

couldn't find HOME environment -- expanding `~/.rubyforge/user-
config.yml'

Hugo,

It sounds like to you need to set the HOME variable: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/185269

Hi Damien,

Thanks for the info. I've set the HOME directory and also needed to do
"rubyforge setup" to create the user-config.yml file.
After that I've tried again but it still does not work. It shows the
following error:

Hoe.new {...} deprecated. Switch to Hoe.spec.
** README.txt is missing or in the wrong format for auto-intuiting.
run `sow blah` and look at its text files
rake aborted!

Don't know how to build task 'install'

I've checked that the README.txt is the directory.

I've also tried to install it using "gem install dctanner-panda_gem"
but it also does not work. It shows the following error:

ERROR: could not find gem dctanner-panda_gem locally or in a
repository.

Best regards,
Hugo

Have a look at rake -T and see what the correct install command is.

Also if you're using the new hosted service, you will be able to simply do: gem install panda

Hi Damien,

Sorry for taking too long to answer but unfortunately I had to stop using pandastream because the projecto I was working on was postponed.

I hope to use Panda when the project starts again!

Best regards,

Hugo

No problem - I do it restarts!
