Radiant Instalation Help...

2009-08-06 01:17:31 UTC

Greetings,

I'm attempting to install Radiant on OSX Leopard. I'm also a Rails noob
just to get that out there. I followed these installation instructions:
http://wiki.github.com/radiant/radiant/installing-on-mac-os

Everything went flawlessly until I ran - ./script/server

I get this message in terminal:
/Users/jaybray/Sites/example/config/boot.rb:138:in `load_rubygems':
undefined method `>=' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
from /Users/jaybray/Sites/example/config/boot.rb:100:in
`load_initializer'
from /Users/jaybray/Sites/example/config/boot.rb:61:in `run'
from /Users/jaybray/Sites/example/config/boot.rb:19:in `boot!'
from /Users/jaybray/Sites/example/config/boot.rb:161:in `<top
(required)>'
from ./script/server:2:in `require'
from ./script/server:2:in `<main>'

and of course I get nothing when I go to my localhost. Anyone have advice
or suggestion on where to find help? Many thanks...

Jason,

Are you using Leopard's built-in Ruby distribution? I remember there
being some complications there. You might try to update your version
of gems ("sudo gem update --system") and all your gems ("sudo gem
update"). If that doesn't get you anywhere, you might consider
installing a newer version of ruby like Ruby Enterprise Edition:

Jeff,

Thanks for the advice. I am not using the built-in Ruby. I rolled my own
using the Hivelogic instructions for Leopard. I did double check to make
sure everything was updated properly and everything appears to be. I
started the Radiant install again from the beginning, made it all the way
through until running script/server and error message.

I'm not sure how installing Enterprise Ruby will help so I may not try that
yet. I'm sure the main error here is btwn the chair and keyboard. My
inexperience with this framework is likely the root. I'll probably put
Radiant on the back burner for awhile until I have a better grasp of Rails.

I just wanted to say thanks.

Jason,

Well, those are good steps that you've taken.

I'm looking at my boot.rb file and the "load_rubygems" method. It
looks to me like the issue is with your RubyGems. If you're at the
command line and run "gem -v", what do you get back? It should be
something like 1.3.1.

Next, fire up irb and enter this line:

Gem::RubyGemsVersion

It should spit back "1.3.1". Let me know what it says if different.

If you want to try just disabling the check that's creating the error,
change line 139 from "unless rubygems_version >= '0.9.4'" to "unless
false" and try to start it up.

Jeff,

Sorry it took me awhile to check on your suggestions...

My RubyGem version is: 1.3.5

I wasn't sure what "irb" was so I went diggin' through one of my ROR
books... you get irb running via script/console... when I run that I get

undefined method `>=' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

from script/console:2:in `<main>'

I also tried running script/console --sandbox which didn't change anything.
My other Rails apps I've built for the purposes of learning have worked
fine. For some reason Radiant is being cranky.

Again, I appreciate your time and effort...

Jason,

Open a Terminal window and type: irb
That's irb. (Type exit or quit end it)
script/console is similar, but it does it within the Rails environment
for your application.

Have you opened a Terminal and typed: gem -v

If it doesn't say "1.3.1", try this http://blog.libinpan.com/2008/04/update-rubygems-to-new-version-on-leopard/

Jason,

Since you have Rails installed, try generating a sample application
and booting the server. If that works, trying requiring a typical gem
(like will-paginate) and see if the app still works.

That might give us clues whether the problem is somehow with your
radiant config or with your whole environment.
