A little problem

Hi everyone,
I’m Matteo, I’m Italian, so sorry for my bad English.
I’ve just downloaded the “depot” examples, but I’ve an error:

script/server

bash: script/server: /Users/dave/ruby1.8/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No
such file or directory
matteod@bones:~/work/rails-code/depot8$

What’s wrong? Would you mind suggesting me how to fix this problem?
I’m under Ubuntu Linux,
I’ll appreciate any your answer,
THANKs,
Matte.

Looks like your environment is not set up correctly. script/server is
looking for ruby in /Users/dave/ruby1.8/bin. Is it there? Probably not.
You can try to change that first line in script/serve to:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

Yes, you’re right! THANKS !!!
But now I’ve another problem:

matteod@bones:~/work/rails-code/depot8$ script/server
bash: script/server: /usr/bin/: bad interpreter: Permission denied
matteod@bones:~/work/rails-code/depot8$

Both “ruby” and “ruby1.8” have these permissions:

root@bones:/usr/bin# ls -all ruby*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2005-11-13 18:13 ruby -> ruby1.8
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3464 2005-10-07 18:10 ruby1.8

Many thanks!

MATTE!

That command should be “ruby script/server”. You’re invoking the ruby
interpreter with the argument “script/server”.
Also, that argument is actually the path to a ruby script, so you have
to invoke this from the root directory of your
project (so that there actually is a “script” sub-directory with a
“server” script inside it).

On the other hand, you’re on linux so maybe the “shebang” line
(#!/usr/bin/ruby) is enough to get the script to work…
someone set me straight if that’s the case. In the meantime, try it with
“ruby …”

cause some weird “bad interpreter” messages, though, so be careful of
that.

Hm, yeah wrong line endings… have had that problem on linux in other
programming
languages. I found that opening with nano does the conversion
automatically (and then just
save the file)… SciTE has a menu option for that too.

Yeah, you should be able to run “script/server” directly, assuming
the shebang line is correct. “#!/usr/bin/env ruby” should work if
there’s a ruby in your $PATH. Having the wrong line endings in a
script will cause some weird “bad interpreter” messages, though, so
be careful of that.
