Gem install rails

Rails
1

maybe this question was ment to be in a ruby specific group but…

I am not getting to specify a version for my gems…

C:\Windows\System32>gem install rails --version=1.1.6
Updating metadata for 241 gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org/
complete
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyonrails.org/
ERROR: could not find rails locally or in a repository

without version it goes ok…

my environment:

C:\Windows\System32>gem environment
RubyGems Environment:

  • RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.1.0 (1.1.0)
  • RUBY VERSION: 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]
  • INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
  • RUBY EXECUTABLE: c:/ruby/bin/ruby.exe
  • RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:
    • ruby
    • x86-mswin32-60
  • GEM PATHS:
    • c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
  • GEM CONFIGURATION:
  • REMOTE SOURCES:

In linux it runs into the very same problem…

thanks

gem sources -r gems.rubyonrails.org

Should fix your problem.

It should work. It worked for me.

also I only used one hyphen
gem install rails -v=1.1.6
instead of
gem install rails --v=1.1.6

What version of ruby, gems, rails and rake do you have? here is what I
have.

C:\ruby\lib\ruby>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]

C:\ruby\lib\ruby>gem -v
0.9.4

C:\ruby\lib\ruby>rails -v
Rails 2.0.2

C:\ruby\lib\ruby>rake --version
rake, version 0.8.1

here is what I typed and the result. At the bottom of that mess are
instructions to re-install Gems 1.0.1. You might play with that and
google a bit on unstable gem versions like 0.95. I am thinking that I
once had gems 1.01 and downgrade to 0.9.4 but I can’t remember

1.Uninstall the current rails - gem uninstall rails
2. Uninstall the current rake - gem uninstall rake (with out this
rails installation was throwing error)
3.clean up - gem clean
4.Down load the gems 1.0.1, unzip it
5.cd to the gems unziped folder
6.install new gem - ruby setup.rb
7. verify - gem -v , should report 1.0.1
8.clean up again - gem clean
9.Install rake - gem install rake , this will install rake 0.8.1
10.install rails - gem install rails thats it…it took some combos
for
me to figure this out

I suggest that the reason it works for you is that you have the gem in
your local cache. The 1.x Rails family seem to have left the
rubyonrails.org Repository. However, specifying the rubyforge repo
seems to get the job done:

matt@blacksmith:~$ sudo gem install rails -v=1.2.6 --source=http://
gems.rubyforge.org/
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org/
Successfully installed activesupport-1.4.4
Successfully installed activerecord-1.15.6
…
etc.

Gem seems a bit inconsistent when it looks at repositories; sometimes
it just checks rubyonrails.org, but other times it looks at ror +
rubyforge remote repositories. Shrug.

Hi everybody, i tried to follow all of your tips to install rails but i
always can go done with that.

I installed :

  1. ruby186-27_rc2.exe
  2. gem install rails -v=2.1.2 --source=http://gems.rubyforge.org/ (its
    because i need that version)

and i got that error :
ERROR: http://gems.rubyforge.org/ does not appear to be a repository
ERROR: could not find gem rails locally or in a repository

I tried to remove rake, the source “http://gems.rubyforge.org/”
and reinstall but i’ve the same error.

My environment is :

RubyGems Environment:

  • RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.3
  • RUBY VERSION: 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32]

Please help me because i spend a lot of time (one week) on the Internet
and i don’t have the solution about my problem.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you very much…
Another solution was to remove the sources manualy… gem sources -r
didn’t
work, but gem sources -l and then removing each one by gem sources -r
http://… worked just fine…

thanks

This is really frustrating.

Your version of RubyGems is way out of date. Either do “gem update
–system” or reinstall from http://www.rubygems.org. After you do that,
see if you can install Rails.

If not, then post the new output from “gem env”. The preferred gem
sources have changed, and I’m hoping that the gem update will change
your sources. If not, we can always add them manually.

Best,
