I am trying to debug this mockup, it runs fine from the shell, but when I run it from within emacs with rubydb, I get an exception. I''ve tried this in the past, running a test from within emacs and it failed. I think it has something to do with the environment. I''m not sure how I should invoke the interpreter to give ActiveRecord access to what it needs. Currently I just call it with "ruby my_test.rb". I tried "/bin/bash -c ruby my_test.rb" but it didn''t work. Anybody know what I can do? /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:1427: `allocator undefined for Bignum'' (NoMethodError) from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:1419:in `clone_attributes'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:1071:in `attributes'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:1291:in `attributes_with_quotes'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:1140:in `update_without_lock'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/locking.rb:45:in `update_without_callbacks'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/callbacks.rb:274:in `update_without_timestamps'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/timestamp.rb:39:in `update'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:1132:in `create_or_update_without_callbacks'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/callbacks.rb:249:in `create_or_update'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:958:in `save_without_validation'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/validations.rb:650:in `save_without_transactions'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:128:in `save'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:128:in `transaction'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:93:in `transaction'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:120:in `transaction'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.11.0/lib/active_record/transactions.rb:128:in `save'' from test_phone_line.rb:27 -Jeff _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
