Hey!

So the plan was to rent out a small development server to test a proof  
of concept design with camping, and then to port it to a more expensive  
server upon success. The server only has 64 MB of ram. Upon running gem  
update, YAML.rb generates a segmentation fault. After a little  
searching all signs pointed to a lack of memory.

To fix this I quickly downloaded all the tarballs and used ruby setup.rb  
and ruby install.rb on active record and markaby. I then grabbed  
camping and untarred it. I copied camping to the bin directory and  
tried to run camping blog.rb in the example folder.

Alas, I received this error: /usr/bin/camping:8:in `require’: no such  
file to load – camping (LoadError)

I am at a lost of where to go next

Thanks allot!

Matt

Looks like you’re missing the camping.rb file which the camping script  
is looking for. You’ll need to install it into site\_ruby or some  
other load path accessible location (like you did for active record  
and markaby, though i’m not sure if camping has a setup.rb).
