Got a strange RDoc error while installing a fresh env of RoR tonight
I started a new fresh install of ruby on rails tonight in a Sandbox (using --prefix on all the configures, and then editing my bash paths to make sure I was using the Sandbox). I install Ruby 1.8.3 and then RubyGems 0.8.11. I then used gems to install rails and got this RDoc error: ************* $ gem install rails Attempting local installation of ''rails'' Local gem file not found: rails*.gem Attempting remote installation of ''rails'' Install required dependency rake? [Yn] Y Install required dependency activesupport? [Yn] y Install required dependency activerecord? [Yn] y Install required dependency actionpack? [Yn] y Install required dependency actionmailer? [Yn] y Install required dependency actionwebservice? [Yn] y Successfully installed rails-0.14.1 Successfully installed rake-0.6.2 Successfully installed activesupport-1.2.1 Successfully installed activerecord-1.12.1 Successfully installed actionpack-1.10.1 Successfully installed actionmailer-1.1.1 Successfully installed actionwebservice-0.9.1 Installing RDoc documentation for rake-0.6.2... RDoc failure in lib/rake.rb at or around line 1421 column -517651418 Before reporting this, could you check that the file you''re documenting compiles cleanly--RDoc is not a full Ruby parser, and gets confused easily if fed invalid programs. The internal error was: ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError) unget past beginning of file ************* I then ran `gem install rails` and did not get the error again. Any idea what I''m doing wrong? I''m on OS X 10.4.2 if it makes any difference. Thanks, ~ Mike -- http://MikeZornek.com
