Ruby Forum Ruby on Rails > ruby script/console -- Errno:ENOENT

I'm trying to load the console of any of the projects on my development 
machine.

bash$ ruby script/console
Loading development environment.
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/commands/console.rb:25:in 
`exec': No such file or directory - irb  -r irb/completion -r 
script/../config/../config/environment -r console_app -r 
console_with_helpers --simple-prompt (Errno::ENOENT)
        from 
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/commands/console.rb:25
        from 
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
        from 
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:147:in 
`require'
        from script/console:3
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Alright, Solved the problem.  Apparently irb wasn't linked properly in 
Ubuntu Dapper.  I resolved the problem by doing a:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/irb1.8 /usr/bin/irb

Hope this can help someone else in the future :)

Well done! Thank you for taking the time to answer back on your original 
post. This helped me out and saved me a lot of time. Thanks again.
I wonder if there is a buglist for this in launchpad or something? I 
will look into it.

Thanks for the tip! I had the same problem with Edgy. My console is 
working great now.

Me again.. I was running into this problem on a new Ubuntu Feisty 
install and spent a few minutes looking through Google to figure out why 
I was getting this error.  Stumbled across this topic having completely 
forgotten about it.  Makes me glad I wrote it down *somewhere* :)

Thank you!

Fixed my problem in Edgy.

Thanx a lot for the solution, i faced the same problem, and u saved me a 
lot of time.

You hero. Thanks so much for posting this. Used it on Edgy Eft Ubuntu.
Let's make it known...

Very helpful. Many thanks for posting this! :-)

Yet Another Thanks!

I am running a fresh install of Debian 4.0 Etch (stable). Why is this 
problem still around..? :)

helped here too.
etch
still around...

In case anyone was wondering, this problems occurs if you install irb1.8 
and NOT the irb dependency package.  If you have already installed 
irb1.8, just do an "apt-get install irb" and the problem should be 
fixed.

it does ! :)
(ubuntu 7.4 - feisty)

thanks a lot  [smiley holding a flower]

This just now helped me, so I thought I'd keep it alive.

It would be nice, though, if the Ubuntu team would get their crap 
together.  There is no excuse for the sorry state of ruby/rails on 
Feisty (or earlier versions, for that matter).

This also just saved me a bit of researching - thanks Jesse!
