Re: [phusion-passenger] passenger for apache2+ubuntu installs in wrong version of ruby gems

[Tinco Andringa]

Hey Pat,

I'm not very familiar with Ubuntu, but does '
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.17/' exist? if so could it be
that your gem command is installing gems for 1.8 instead of 1.9.
There's some weird stuff going on between gem and Ubuntu/Debian,
perhaps this is a result of it.

If you're sure you have passenger installed for 1.9 then just changing
those paths to the corresponding ones in your 1.9 directories will fix
your trouble :)

Kind regards,
Tinco

You have two Ruby installations on your system, 1.8 and 1.9. When you
invoke 'ruby' as a normal user you invoke Ruby 1.9, but 'sudo' nukes
your environment variables so it's entirely possible that you when you
do 'sudo gem install', sudo selects the 'gem' command that's
associated with Ruby 1.8. RubyGems 'pins' any executable it installs
to the specific Ruby interpreter that it ran in, so when you invoke
passenger-install-apache2-module it is automatically invoked in Ruby
1.8.

To solve this problem, tell sudo to use the Ruby 1.9-specific gem
command, e.g. 'sudo /usr/bin/gem1.9 install passenger && sudo
/absolute-path-to/passenger-install-apache2-module'
Here, '/absolute-path-to' is the directory that your Ruby 1.9 RubyGems
installs executables to, whereever that is.
