making great quality recordings of the presentations right off the
sound board. Then they are uploading them to my server for anyone who
couldn't make it to listen to!! Thanks Guys!!!

We already have the first 3 presentations uploaded and ready for
consumptions. Heres the info:

Ezra,

I did everything you told me to do and when I tried to run the setup
for gems, this is what I got:

As of RubyGems 0.8.0, library stubs are no longer needed.
Searching $LOAD_PATH for stubs to optionally delete (may take a
while)...
...done.
No library stubs found.

Raven:~ untz$

I got the same error message.... My RubyGems was working in the past....

Do you have any suggestions?

Kindest regards,

Ezra,

Ok... I follwed your instructions with the ruby 1.8.3 stable release
and I can seem to find where to specify my the /usr/local/bin and /
usr/local/sbin/ before /usr/bin/ and /usr/sbin on my PATH...

My .profile:

Raven:~ untz$ cat .profile
alias vim="/Applications/Vim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim"
alias gvim="/Applications/Vim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim -g"
test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh

My .bash_profile:

Raven:~ untz$ cat .bash_profile
~/.profile
JAVA_HOME="/System/Library/frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/
Home";
J2EE_HOME="/Developer/JavaTools/j2sdkee1.3.1";
J2ME_HOME="/Developer/JavaTools/j2me_wireless_toolkit2.2";
CATALINA_HOME="/Developer/JavaTools/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9";
CLASSPATH=.:"$J2EE_HOME/lib/j2ee.jar":"$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/
servlet-api.jar":"$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib/jsp-api.jar":"/Developer/
Database/hsqldb/lib/hsqldb.jar";
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$J2EE_HOME/bin:$J2ME_HOME/bin:/usr/local/
bin:/opt/local/bin;
VIMRUNTIME="/Applications/Vim.app/runtime";
export JAVA_HOME J2ME_HOME J2EE_HOME CATALINA_HOME PATH VIMRUNTIME bash
Raven:~ untz$

Also, per your instruction, my new ruby install is under:

/usr/local/

instead of /usr/local/ruby

How can I change this / install to /usr/local/ruby?

In addition, I cd'ed into /usr/local/bin/ directory and ran irb and
it still doesn't do the irb "tab completion".... I haven't installed
RubyGems, yet because I want to do this step-by-step before
proceeding...

Kindest regards,

Unnsse

Unssee-
Set it in your /etc/profile.

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH
export PATH

and then go from there

Ezra,

can't seem to write to it because its read-only (sorry, I am UNIX
dummy...)

How do I unset the read-only attribute on this file?

Also, will ruby being in /usr/local/ pose a problem? I remember that
subversion and other applications are in /usr/local/

so, isn't it better to make it so its /usr/local/ruby ?

also, how do I do the symbolic link for /usr/bin/ruby to point to /
usr/bin/loca/ ?

Is it:

ln -s /usr/bin/ruby /usr/local/bin/ruby ?

will I be able to use the same:

#!/usr/bin/ruby -w

in my ruby programs?

Kindest regards,

Unnsse

Unssee-
You need to do this to edit the protected profile:

$ sudo pico /etc/profile

But you could also just add the path statements to you .bash_profile
at the bottom. In fact that is probably a better way of doing it.


If you installed ruby in /usr/local/bin/ruby then just putting the /
usr/local/bin in the front of your path is enough and you dont need a
symlink.

[Unnsse Khan]

Ezra,

Ok... RubyGems works now but now, when I start irb and do this:

Raven:~ untz$ irb
irb(main):001:0> a = "Ruby rocks!"
=> "Ruby rocks!"
irb(main):002:0> a.rev

and click on tab, the cursor just remains fixed (right after the "v")
and before, whereas, it would fill in the remaining word, and also
wouldn't show me
anymore choices for instance methods, the cursor would move four
spaces (just like using tab on MS Word)...

We are back to square one, and the tab completion problem seems to
still be broken but with different oddities......

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Kindest regards,

Unnsse
