This an open plea for someone with knowledge of RubyGems to explain why RubyGems stays in memory (over 10MB) after a Rails application is loaded. I am unable to figure out why this would be necessary. I haven''t had any response from Jim or Chad from RubyGems about it so I thought I would throw it open to the list to see if anyone could educate me or share thier experiences with this.

I''m trying to install ruby on rails to a host server that I don''t have root access to. The server already has ruby.

I''ve started an app with rails 1.1.6 then ran freeze_edge. My app will not run with rails in the vendor folder. Have I forgot to do something? I"ve been without the internet for the last two months. Has something changed?

I have a plugin that I am working on that will as part of its distribution contain a controller. I would like to be able to add a route for it in the plugin''s init.rb so that when the plugin is loaded, the route will automatically be registered without having to force the user to edit routes.rb or even make a rake task to do it for them. I saw the following code in one of the SVN

I have been trying to write a selector function for Autocompleter.Local that will show a predefined Array and will scroll automatically to the first match. I have had success with with getting my list to populate and show all of the choices, however I cannot get it to scroll to the first match. Since I build the JS Array I can know exactly how many items are in the list going into my selector,

I just got a Google Groups notification that I had been subscribed to http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk. Looking at the page, it appears that about 4300 folks have been subscribed.

I''m getting an error 500 and I''m at my wits end as to what could be causing it. I''m sure the path to the ruby executable is correct so what else could be causing it? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am a Rails noob, working on bringing a legacy db system into the 21st century. I want to localize the UI for two languages (EN/JA). Since I am already using the salted user system, I have been playing around with T. Fuchs'' localization module. Nice and simple, already up and working. But here''s the problem: Japanese text is wrapping weirdly in table cells. I could set

Maaaaaaaaaaaaajor sanity check needed. I wrote a simple little plugin, and it wouldn''t load. I put some comments in it''s init.rb, and it didn''t even spit those out. So, I dug into the initializer.rb (/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb) to see wtf is going on, and found the problem... but... can''t explain it. Here is the code in question:

Hey all! Just finished my first Rails app on 1.0 day and even got paid for it! Great stuff and much thanks to the many generous souls in IRC, especially ezmobious, who helped me through.

Hi there, I have an idea for a game I want to build, but it requires Flash as the presentation layer (I''d want to do the back end in Ruby running on Rails.)

I am writing some specs that use ActiveMerchant to talk to a cc provider.

Hey all, I''m a little frustrated here. The controls for the Google Map show up, but the map itself seems to either never appear or to briefly flicker onto screen, then to disappear. My controller is simply this: @map = GMap.new("map_div") @map.control_init(:large_map => true, :map_type => true) @map.center_zoom_init([0, 0], 6) and my view is this:
