Hi All, I am trying to use the auth\_generator package and am having problems with the GD requirements. So, while I realize this is tangental to rails, I am hoping someone may have some insight for me. I get the following error when trying to update my account info: MissingSourceFile in Account#info no such file to load – GD RAILS\_ROOT: script/…/config/… Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace /usr/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:21:in `require__' /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in`require’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.3/lib/active\_support/ dependencies.rb:214:in `require' ./script/../config/../app/controllers/account_controller.rb:76:in`info’ ./script/…/config/…/app/controllers/application.rb:12:in `process' ./script/../config/../app/controllers/application.rb:11:in`process’ This error occured while loading the following files: GD I am running Mac OS 10.4.3 and have insalled gd and gd2 using fink and installed rb-gd using ports. Any ideas? Scott ---

I’ve been having similar issues. I tried installing gd and GD 2 from darwinports and from source on OS X 10.4.6. Just checking to see if there were any updates or if you found a solution? Or perhaps there is a much easier way of getting Ruby GD up and running smoothly that I’m missing? If anyone knows let me know, thanks.

Hey Jay, I still haven’t gotten it to work, atleast not on my OS X dev machine. Might be easier when moving to production. Only solutions I think is now in the 2.0 version you can just use [gravatar.com](http://gravatar.com) for icons throughout the entire site. Though I’d personally like to have the image upload functionality for my users. I just wish they had used something like super image or RMagic/ImageMagic from the beginning. ---

Any solution so far?
