Error creating project

[carlosz]

Hi, i just found out about ShatteredRuby and want to try it. I've
installed it through gem, but when I try to start a project this error
appears:

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/shattered_ogrerb-0.5.1/lib/
shattered_ogrerb.rb:9:in `add_dll_paths': undefined method `+' for

from /usr/bin/shatter:17

I'm using Debian testing, and "gem list --local shattered" output is:

*** LOCAL GEMS ***
shattered_ogrerb (0.5.1)
Shattered_ogrerb: Binds ogrerb to Shattered. Downloadable as a
gem.
shattered_pack (0.5.1)
Shattered Pack: The combination of model/view/controllers and the
domain specific language for each.
shattered_ruby (0.5.1)
Shattered: The main package tieing together controller, view, and
model
shattered_support (0.5.1)
Shattered Support: Allows a common derivation point for shattered
MVC.

What am i missing?

Thanks for the help

Hi Carlos,

Actually I'm just starting out with ShatteredRuby on Ubuntu (but
Debian is my true distro love) and I got the same error. I was able
to get around it by editing
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/shattered_ogrerb-0.5.1/lib/
shattered_ogrerb.rb (path respective to your system).

On line 8, it reads:

unless Platform.mac?

Change this to

unless (Platform.mac? or Platform.linux?)

and shatter will work.

Now, I'm still having problems beyond that, but hopefully that will
help you get started. Perhaps us Linux guys can help each other
out. :)

Cheers,

Eric

Cool - thanks for the patch.  We are ATM developing primarily in Windows (bleh) and we appreciate you helping to fill the gap.
