I''ve been trying to update Rails on two Win2k boxes, each running the
latest release of the the Ruby 1.8.2 1-click.
On both machines, when I run
gem install rails
I get an error when it tries to install actionmailer.
Attempting remote installation of ''rails''
Install required dependency activesupport? [Yn] Y
Install required dependency activerecord? [Yn] Y
Install required dependency actionpack? [Yn] Y
Install required dependency actionmailer? [Yn] Y
ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)
undefined method `serialize'' for
CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session:Class
This (or something similar) has happened on each previous Rails update;
each time I''ve been told to delete old copies of actionmailer. It
helped in the past (but did nothing to stop it for the next time). It
didn''t help this time.
What is solution?
Thanks,
James

It is a *bad* general suggestion as a way to install or update a specific gem. It is unfortunate it was ever offered as a way to update Rails. The current version of gems ignores the last argument, so it runs "gem update" I''ve also update gems to 0.8.4, but it makes no difference. And, for the record, yes I *did* try "gem update rails" (knowing that all gems would get updated; I was fine with that). No help. At this point I''m heading towards installing from zip file, which seems quite cheesy. Thanks, James
