Hello Community: I''m a brand new user of Ruby on Rails, and am having a great deal of trouble compiling from source. I''m using the tutorial at http://hivelogic.com/articles/2005/12/01/ruby_rails_lighttpd_mysql_tiger to complete the install. Readline and Ruby installed just fine, and the Ruby Gems appeared to. But when I tried to sudo gem install Rails --include-dependencies,

I have been using Locomotive for rails development and recently decided to fix up the ruby/rails install that is on my mac. As we all know, Ruby 1.8.2 came on the mac and has problems, so I followed the instructions at Hivelogic for installing the latest versions of Ruby, Rails, Lighttpd and so forth. I have this set in my path within bash_login: export

I''m on Mac OSX and I''m about to rip my hair out over how hard it is to install rails. I''ve installed rubygems and am typing "ruby setup.rb" in the command line and get "No such file or directory." I''ve never had to use command lines before so this is alien to me. Can''t they just make installation GUI-based for non-geeks like

I tried the instruction tutorial on http://maczealots.com/tutorials/ruby-on-rails/ and in the middle of trying to install fixrbconfig I got an error: usr/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.0/ruby.h does not exist. This probably means you haven''t yet installed Xcode from the Tiger DVD. You won''t be able to compile Ruby extensions without it. Please install it then rerun this

Hi all, lately I''ve been working with ROR on a MAC OSX tiger at work, however I have one huge problem with seems to be the root of all my problems whenever I use terminal or iTerm to start workign with ROR.

I have installed Ruby and Rails on my Intel iMac according to the instructions provided by Hivelogic. Everything works perfectly. I have noticed that if I close Terminal and later come back and open it, It seems like the paths set in bash_login are lost. If I open bash_login the paths are still there however if i do ruby -v it says I am running 1.8.2 (mac default) when I have installed 1.8.4.

I''m three pages into the OnLamp RoR Tutorial [1] and am wrestling with what appears to be a MySQL connection problem. I''ve created a simple controller called "recipe" with a corresponding "recipes" mysql table. The recipe controller is just a simple scaffold. When I browse to "recipe/new", though, I get these errors: == NoMethodError in

Hi, Just got my first Mac.

But all the sites appear to only have 4.1.19 or 4.1.20. So it looks like DarwinPorts is over a month out

I got a new 20 inch iMac dual core today and am busy getting it all setup. A couple of issues though: 1. Is the Ruby 1.8.2 install by Apple still botched or has that been fixed? I recall someone had fixed the rbconfig.rb to get it working. Is this something I still have to do? 2. Does anyone know if Locomotive is using the uniersal binaries, or is it targetting PPC yet? I couldn''t

Hello folks, I''ve newly bought a Mac and am new to it. I want to install Ruby on Rails on it (Ruby, Rails, SVN, Apache, MySQL, ...) but I''m not sure which way is the best. Should I go for Fink? OpenDarwin? Or just install them directly on mac. What about something in Fink, something in OpenDarwin and something directly? I''m a bit confused, may you please give me a

When creating a scaffold you get a layout file. How does it work? I thought I would find the var @content_for_layout in the controller, but I didn''t. Where is layouts defined or controlled? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This is so frustrating. Is RoR that easy to learn or is it hype or is it just me? I wonder how many newbies like me are surfing the docs trying to get a clue of the basics. Every tutorial I find is much the same, and seems to skip the fundmental parts. How should you understand the Ruby API http://api.rubyonrails.org/? What is < ActionController::Base?
