I installed BackgrounDRb this morning from GIT and cannot get it to  
start (mac leopard)  
I’ve installed all required gems.

script/backgroundrb start  
script/backgroundrb:11:in `require’: no such file to load –  
/Users/greg/Sites/suac/script…/config/boot.rb (LoadError) from  
script/backgroundrb:11

Which is failing on require RAILS\_HOME + ‘/config/boot.rb’  
If I give it a path, it fails on backgroundrb\_server

/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in  
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- backgroundrb_server (LoadError) from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in`require’  
from script/backgroundrb:18

Any idea why this is?

There has been one small error in load script, “script…/” should be  
“script/…/” and hence it failed to start. Sorry about this error.

Please update your code from git and it should work.

Never mind. I re-ran the rake setup and it’s working now. THANKS!

I grabbed the newest version from GIT and still doesn’t work.  
However, it does work on RHEL4. This problem is just on my Mac running  
Leopard.
