Just when i think i’ve got my head around including gems with gem.config
in my environment.rb file i hit another hurdle. The latest one involves
redlcoth, which one of my plugins needs.
my installed redcloth gem is in this folder:
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/RedCloth-4.2.2/
and its main lib folder is called ‘redcloth’.
I managed to freeze it into my app by calling config.gem as follows:
config.gem “RedCloth”, :version => ‘4.2.2’, :lib => “redcloth”
Initially i had the first argument as “redcloth” but this didn’t work -
presumably it needs the name of the gem folder (minus version number)
and is case sensitive?
Anyway, because i’d managed to freeze it into my vendor/gems folder, i
thought everything was cool. But when i try and run a rake task i get
this error:
The following gems have native components that need to be built
RedCloth = 4.2.2
You’re running:
ruby 1.8.6.111 at /usr/bin/ruby1.8
rubygems 1.3.5 at ,
/home/max/work/akrotoski_container/akrotoski/thoth,
/home/max/.gem/ruby/1.8, /var/lib/gems/1.8
Run rake gems:build to build the unbuilt gems.
If i run rake gems:build, i get the same error back, which is the usual
frustrating problem i’ve had in the past with this stuff.
Can anyone see what i’m doing wrong? thanks, max
