Rails - Sep 2005 - OSX vs Linux Rails Apps

We are working in a mixed dev env, comprised of OS X (Tiger) and  
Linux (Ubuntu Hoary) boxen.   From OS X, when I type:

     rails temp

I get a dir structure that looks like this:

CHANGELOG
Rakefile
components
db
lib
public
test
README
app
config
doc
log
script
vendor

My "vendor" directory is empty.

When I type rails temp on linux, I get the same structure, but there  
are symbolic links to the guts of rails in the vendor directory.

Additionally, the environment.rb file contains this on OS X:
ADDITIONAL_LOAD_PATHS.concat %w(
   app
   app/models
   app/controllers
   app/helpers
   app/apis
   components
   config
   lib
   vendor
   vendor/rails/railties
   vendor/rails/railties/lib
   vendor/rails/actionpack/lib
   vendor/rails/activesupport/lib
   vendor/rails/activerecord/lib
   vendor/rails/actionmailer/lib
   vendor/rails/actionwebservice/lib
).map { |dir| "#{RAILS_ROOT}/#{dir}" }.select { |dir| File.directory? 
(dir) }

which does not work on the linux box, because there is no "rails"  
directory in the vendor directory.

In short, when I create a project in OS X, zip it up and plunk it on  
a linux box, (or check it out of cvs) it won''t run.  I get the  
following error when I try to run it:

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in  
`require__'': no such file to load -- active_support (LoadError)
         from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 
21:in `require''
         from ./script/../config/environment.rb:50
         from script/server:42

Both platforms appear to be using rails 0.13.1

What is going on here?

Thanks!

Unless your app is running its own rails version there shouldn''t be a  
rails dir in /vendor, nor should it matter if it is in the load path.  
The above environment.rb excerpt looks fine to me.

Looks like something is trying to require_gem ''active_support''
instead of ''activesupport''. What''s line 50 of
environment.rb?

p.s. I''ve deployed Rails app that were created on OSX (from a variety  
of ruby/rails setups) and have never had a problem (apart from  
shebang mismatches -- IMO rails should use "#!/usr/bin/env ruby"  
instead.
