The following are the steps that I performed to install ruby on my linux machine. This same text is also available on http://linux-certification.blogspot.com/2008/10/setting-up-ruby-on-li... I went to http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ There I found out a section with the heading Ruby Source Code I pick the url of the link for the file using the right click and choosing the ''copy link

Aloha, I just made some quick hacks on the configure script with the 'ncdf' package to make it link with the opendap/dods libraries (opendap.org) rather than the netcdf api library. Basically, this allows a user to interact in R with a remotely served dataset as if it were a netcdf file on the local filesystem (read-only). Functionality with local files should continue to work as

Hi, I am running puppet 2.6.12 on a SLES11SP1 server. I get the following error message as part of the puppet catalog run on a SLED11SP1 client.

I got puppet installed and running on Redhat 8 today. I''m passing on my notes to the list to help out others that may want or need puppet running on older Redhat servers. This is pretty much a copy & paste from my own personal wiki so please forgive any odd formating. ==== Puppet Setup on Redhat 8 ==== Here''s a quick-n-dirty on how I got puppet running on redhat 8.

My machine has a static IP, with dhcp and IPv6 disabled. Every time I reboot, some process rewrites /etc/resolv.conf, including a comment about dhcpclient. The only package I have installed that shows up in "rpm -qa|grep -i dhcp" is dhcpv6-client-1.0.10-16.el5, and nothing in there is named dhcpclient. I'd like to figure out what software is rewriting this file and why. man 5

Hi, I am getting a method_missing error when I run my application in the production environment unless I set config.cache_classes = false in config/environments/production.rb. This happens in Rails 2.2.2 but not in Rails 2.1.0. The method that is missing is one I used to have before I edited by hand the migration that creates the table associated with the object (I know you are discouraged to do

Graphic installer doesn't like my graphics card, so I am using the text installer. I have two physical disks in my system. When I get to the "partitioning type" page, I choose "remove all partitions on selected drives [etc]" and put an asterisk next to sda, no asterisk next to sdb. I want to use sdb as a separate partition, no LVM, I figure I can set it up after

Dear List, This is just a programming problem which i cannot seem to figure out. I am trying to get a set of power from a test (say, kolmogorov smirnov) out of a distribution (say, G-K distribution) as follows. I am trying to reduce to pain of writing the whole set of data points (p# below) using "for" loop. However, I seem to have some problem in it as the output "M" does not

Aloha Rip Thanks for your quick response. I did compile OpenSSH stuffs by using GCC 2.95.2 first, the error is the same. Since there are no issues on other platforms by using GCC 3.3.2, I tried to take a luck on HP-UX 10.20 by using GCC 3.3.2. Unfortunately, it is same, even at the same line What I am guessing is that it could be from some system environment variable setting, but I am not sure

Here is a list of files that I have not (knowingly) modified that do not pass rpm verification immediately after I installed centos 5.3. I am not really sure what this means - are the packagers sending out sloppy rpms, or is something going around modifying stuff? Other than the texmf stuff, the list seems to consist entirely of config files. Does yum or rpm or something do some instant

Hello, I have a GridEngine setup with 5 subnodes and two RAIDS attached. I backed up the OS drive - 120GB - to an external hard drive - 500GB - using ddrescue. The OS drive is partitioned as: sda1 has the OS and is about 7 GB sda2 has /var and is about 4 GB sda3 has swap and is about 1 GB After backing up, there were 4KB of errors, but all at the end of the disk around 118GB. This used to be

I just installed centos on a Dell that used to have 2 internal disks, but I removed one just before the install. Now when I boot it, it stops and outputs a message complaining about the missing disk and I have to hit F1 to get it to continue booting. Is there some bios setting that is causing this? Obviously, I'd like it to just forget about the missing disk and go ahead and boot with just

Hi, Running: Ruby 1.8.7 p72, RSpec 1.1.12 and rcov 0.8.1.2.0, I get the following error message with $ rake spec:rcov -- /usr/local/ruby1.8.7//lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/formatters/pretty.rb:131:in `[]'': no implicit conversion from nil to integer (TypeError) from /usr/local/ruby1.8.7//lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/formatters/pretty.rb:131:in `wrap'' from

I've been thinking about ways to proceed if I need to set up 5 machines with basically identical software but somewhat variable hardware. A simple approach would be to just set up my golden system and clone the disk, but the hardware differences would probably cause problems. One approach that appeals to me is to install minimal centos on the first system, add a few rpms after installation,

RoR-ers, I''ve bumped into an issue with ruby and ssl. I''m trying to run a rake command which aborts because it cannot find openssl.rb. I followed these steps: - mkdir /rho; chown phor /rho - wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7-p72.tar.bz2 - tar jxf ruby-1.8.7-p72.tar.bz2 - cd ruby-1.8.7-p72 - vi ext/Setup and uncomment these lines: bigdecimal curses
