So thanks to Craig, i got up and running on rails 2.2.2, though now i’m dealing with a whole new can of worms. I’ve done a good bit o searching and haven’t found any solid leads. I’m using the simple\_captcha plugin on my site, and all is well until i call that plugin. [http://www.pastie.org/347721](http://www.pastie.org/347721) ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `transaction\_status’ for #PGconn:0x6a8ae20) on line #43 of app/views/forms/\_slang\_form.html.erb: 42: 43: \<%= show\_simple\_captcha %\> 44: 45: \<%= @f.submit “Submit” %\> 46: The plugin works great in 2.1.0, Has anyone seen anything like this before?? ---

It’s actually a problem with the postgres gem. I ran into this the other day at work, if I remember correctly you just need to switch which gem you hav installed. Unfortunately I don’t remember which one to use and I’m not at the office.

I’m not in too much of a hurry to play wih 2.2.2, if its not too much trouble whenever you get back to the office, could you let me know what version of pgsql worked for you ( so i’m not just shooting in the dark) ? Right now i’m running 8.3.3 and if memory serves me correctly i had too much trouble directly installing the gem, so I used mac ports. I tried installing 8.2 from ports and wasn’t able to, i’m assuming whatever version i end up with, i’ll have completely uninstall 8.3.3 first if i’m using ports ? ---

It’s not the postgres (psql) version thats the problem, its actually the ruby postgres gem that ActiveRecord uses to connect to psql. I will be in the office tomorrow and will check it out.

I asked my boss what gem it was he determined we need to be on, he claims “pr”, so I tried to install it and it fails to compile, so now im back to square one. I really thought I had this all sorted out a few weeks ago, maybe it was on a different computer. ---
