[gem] what is the rubygems-update package?

[Lionel Thiry]

Hello!
What is the rubygems-update package? What is its exact purpose?

I suppose it's for updating rubygem itself. I've downloaded it, but I don't
understand, how am I suppose to use it? Is the update already done once it is
installed? Or do I have some commands to run after that?

Thanks in advance for any clue,
Lionel Thiry

After you install it, you do `update_rubygems` to complete the
upgrade. Hopefully will finally fold this into a firstclass feature
this weekend.

Hi y'all,
I'm new here so please be kind to me

I'm using WinXP Pro, One-click installer Window ruby182-14.exe and
mysql-4.1.10-win32.zip

The code I wrote is : mysql.rb

require 'mysql'

m = Mysql.new("localhost", "ariebanaranakai", "iwakkaring", "budiman")
r = m.query("SELECT username, password FROM user");
r.each_hash do |f|
print "#{f['username']} . #{f['password']}"
end

The Error I got is :

/mysql.rb:3: uninitialized constant Mysql (NameError)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/loadpath_manager.rb:5:in
'require__'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/loadpath_manager.rb:5:in
'require'
from mysql.rb:1

What's the matter with this ? I've searched the archieves but found
nothing :-(
I've also asked rubyist mailing list in my country but they averagely
said they never get the problem like I do :'(

Please help me and thanks a lot.

Welcome to Ruby

I'm using WinXP Pro, One-click installer Window ruby182-14.exe and
mysql-4.1.10-win32.zip

The code I wrote is : mysql.rb

require 'mysql'

replace that last line with these:

require 'rubygems'
require_gem 'mysql'

Can get more help here:

require 'mysql'

Give your file another name. require 'mysql' might be including
itself instead of the Mysql class.

The Error I got is :

./mysql.rb:3: uninitialized constant Mysql (NameError)
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/loadpath_manager.rb:5:in
'require__'
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/loadpath_manager.rb:5:in
'require'

Argh RubyGems... they do some ugly things with require too. Anyway
try the above suggestion first before worrying about rubygems...
