I know all of you are really dedicated to rails. But the fact is I’ve
become really exasperated with it lately.
Ever since the move to Rails 2.1, I’ve had sooo many problems just
getting a functioning Rails stack.
Its really exasperating when you spend most of your development time
trying to actually get a setup working instead of programming.
Basically, I have a problem with rubygems. The only way I’ve been
able to get rubygems to work has been installing an older version of
it.
Whenever I install it now, I get a ‘gem original require’ error,
either at line 9 or 27. I’m running debian linux.
Right now, its telling me:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:9:in require': no such file to load -- rbconfig (LoadError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:9 from /usr/bin/gem:9:inrequire’
from /usr/bin/gem:9
I’m sorry to rant–I just haven’t been able to get the gem package
manager to work without a hassle for a long time. Its just so
frustrating that I’m thinking of switching to a more reliable
platform. I’ve gotten past this error at some point, but every! time
I try and set up a development environment this happens and I lose
time trying to figure out what is wrong.
