InstantRails windows Installation, problem with Gem

R

Ronald Dsouza

Hi Good Morning,
I downloaded and installed the Instant Rails 1.7 from the website
onto my local windows xp machine in
C:\ruby\InstantRails-1.7-win\InstantRails

then I ran the following to update the version of RubyGems that comes
with InstantRails:
C:\InstantRails> gem update --system

I get the following error: (could someone help me where I am going
wrong)
thanks.

C:/ruby/InstantRails-1.7-win/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in

Hi, I'm not sure if this will help you, but there's a file called
use_ruby.cmd that should be run from your console before you use
InstantRails for anything else. Have you done that?

Cheers,
Mohit.

make sure gems/sources-x-x directory exists
maybe edit rbconfig.rb ('s) that exist, point them to your directory
where you installed it.

Hi Mohit/Roger
Thanks for your response
After I sent the message I just un-installed everything and am
redoing unzipping to a new dir C:/InstantRails-1.7-win.

then I am planning to run tests as you have mentioned.

will keep you posted on this forum regarding the progress.

Thanks again.
Ron.

3. Ran the update

Try running it several times--that usually means a poor connection or
something (?)

Ron, I agree with the other post - try running it multiple time, seems
like an intermittent problem.

Cheers,

Are you behind a proxy?

Hi Ron

I'm a bit perplexed now. There are 2 things you can look at:

1.
http://angrys0ul.com/blog/2007/04/25/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-on-a-windows-pc/
If you're looking at updating Rails (I've forgotten your original post),
you can look at the hints in this article for installing gems locally
(by downloading the archive)

2. http://rubygems.org/read/chapter/15 and
http://rubygems.org/read/chapter/19
These show the basic FAQ for installation problems.

3. http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/RailsOnWindows
This shows the commands related to installing from behind a proxy. It
seems that you should do:
If you need to use a proxy, add ’-p http://proxy:port’ to all gem
install commands. It seems that the proxy method you used might not
work on Windows.

Hope one of these methods works for you.

Cheers,
Mohit.

I wonder if you could fix it by downloading rubygems again (from its
site)...
