Suddenly I can’t run the production console anymore for my app :(.  
Here’s the error I get:

08:12pm fggedsaa:~/rails/production/app\>./script/console  
production  
Loading production environment (Rails 2.1.1)  
/opt/csw/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27: [BUG]  
terminated node (0x8117eb8)  
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13) [i386-solaris2.11]

Version info:

8:24pm fggedsaa:~/rails/production/app\> gem -v  
1.2.0  
8:24pm fggedsaa:~/rails/production/app\> ruby -v  
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i386-solaris2.11]  
8:24pm fggedsaa:~/rails/production/app\> rails -v  
Rails 2.1.1

Running the development console works fine. I can’t find any  
difference in gem usage between dev and production environments, but  
clearly there is one.

Thanks in advance for any help! This is a big problem for me…

That is a bug in the ruby interpreter. If I were you I’d try a more  
recent version of 1.8.6 (you’re at patch level 0, the current one is  
something like 287)

Fred, Thanks for the info.

And does it make sense that this happens only for me and not other  
users?

Dunno - Doubt anyone is still running that patch level of 1.8.6. Bugs  
aren’t always predictable.
