Hi, just been having a few issues getting the latest gem install from rubyforge. It seems that it need specific versions ie. facets (= 2.4.3) rubyforge (= 1.0.0) This is fine but I actually have newer version of most of these dependencies installed ie. rubyforge 1.0.1 is installed (and is required for other projects). When trying to run webgen it is loading the newer version first and then cannot load the version that it depends on. This could be an issue with rubygems (I have version 1.2.0 installed) but it seems that the dependencies for webgen could be a little more relaxed (using >= instead of =). Does this make sense? Either that or have it load the gem version that it depends on (load rubyforge 1.0.0 specifically). I am no rubygem expert so I don''t know if this is possible. Basically, I would like to install webgen alongside my other, newer, gems. -felix

When you install webgen via Rubygems, the exact versions of the dependencies are installed. When you run webgen, the Rubygems'' installed binary calls gem ''webgen'' with the correct version (ie. normally the latest if you don''t specify a Rubygems version argument to the webgen executable) and loads the correct dependencies. A further call to, for example, require ''facets'', should load the facets library of the correct version (=2.4.3). The only problem that could arise is when you are writing an extension that uses another version of facets since two versions of the same library can''t be loaded at the same time. After installing facets-2.4.5 on my machine webgen works without complaints. I have been using fixed version dependencies after an update to the facets library caused webgen to stop working and after some discussions on this mailing list. So to the problem at hand: could you please give me the output of ''gem list'' so I can investigate further? And do you use any non-webgen shipped extensions? -- Thomas

Thomas, I followed the advice to install rubygems from rubyforge (as apposed to my distro''s version) and so it seems that 1.3.x has fixed the issue. This means I have blown away my previous gem list :-) The main thing is, it works. -felix On Nov 4, 3:00?am, Thomas Leitner <t_leit... at gmx.at> wrote:> Am Sun, 2 Nov 2008 01:36:11 -0800 (PST) > schrieb felix <felix.mcc... at gmail.com>: > > > > > Hi, > > > just been having a few issues getting the latest gem install from > > rubyforge.
