I’ve got a ruby script that calls Ruby-WordNet which in turns calls DBD.
I’m getting an error from DBD that looks like this (there’s some debug
output from wordnet’s lexicon.rb that I turned on):
$ sh run_everything.sh

------ now running determine_features.rb

/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/wordnet/lexicon.rb:121:in initialize': Error while opening Ruby-WordNet data files: /usr/share/ruby-wordnet: Invalid argument (BDB::Fatal) from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/wordnet/lexicon.rb:121:innew’

initialize' from ./encoder_tools.rb:145:innew’
from ./encoder_tools.rb:145:in initialize' from ./determine_features.rb:32:innew’
from ./determine_features.rb:32
The actual line in lexicon.rb that causes this error is:
@env = BDB::Env::new( dbenv, envflags, EnvOptions )
What I can’t figure out is which argument here is invalid, or otherwise
what’s going wrong.
Possibly useful info: I’ve successfully built and installed bdb-0.6.5
from source- that’s the one I want to be running. However I also have
the libdb4.6-ruby1.8 package installed on the same machine (and
according to apt-cache showpkg it’s using 0.6.2-0ubuntu1). So I’m
unclear which actual lib I’m using when this error happens.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to get past this?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
Cheers,
