Forum: Typo Can't install typo using installer

Hi,

Tried on my macbook w/leopard and my debian server, can't get it to
work.

I always get this:
config.gem: Unpacked gem htmlentities-4.0.0 in vendor/gems has no
specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this.
config.gem: Unpacked gem calendar_date_select-1.15 in vendor/gems has
no specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this.
config.gem: Unpacked gem coderay-0.8.260 in vendor/gems has no
specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this.
config.gem: Unpacked gem json-1.1.3 in vendor/gems has no
specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this.
rake aborted!
can't activate json (= 1.1.7, runtime), already activated json-1.1.3


running
rake gems:refresh_specs
, as advised, delightfully gives the exact same f'ing error:
config.gem: Unpacked gem htmlentities-4.0.0 in vendor/gems has no
specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this.
config.gem: Unpacked gem calendar_date_select-1.15 in vendor/gems has
no specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this.
config.gem: Unpacked gem coderay-0.8.260 in vendor/gems has no
specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this.
config.gem: Unpacked gem json-1.1.3 in vendor/gems has no
specification file. Run 'rake gems:refresh_specs' to fix this.
rake aborted!
can't activate json (= 1.1.7, runtime), already activated json-1.1.3


TIA

You try manually installing the json gem? sudo gem install json

Yeah, I actually installed all the gems it listed, successfully, and
retried.  Unfortunately, no change.

hmmm..  I would try removing all previous versions of the json gem as
well if you haven't tried that already.

Good idea, while it didn't work it got me on the right track -
rm -rf vendor/gems/json-1.1.3/

with the bundled gem removed from the vendor folder, install finishes
successfully.

Thanks for the help!
