GD error

Rails
1

Hi!

I’m new in ruby/rails programming and i have a small problem.

I have installed InstantRails 1.0 (for Ruby/Rails/Mysql/Apache envs) and
I’m trying to make a small app working. I’m using auth_generator for
making a login page/users admin pages… and I have a problem when
trying to CHANGE the avatar for the user.

I have the following error:

MissingSourceFile in Account#info

no such file to load – GD

Request

Parameters: {“post”=>{“lastname”=>“aaaaa”, “firstname”=>“bbbbbb”,
“picture”=>#StringIO:0x395e3f8, “password”=>“”,
“newemail”=>“[email protected]”, “passwordbis”=>“”}}

it is related with GD module (I guess)… so, i’ve downloaded ruby-gd
from http://raa.ruby-lang.org/cache/ruby-gd/ruby-GD-0.7.4-1.tar.gz and
unzipped it into [instantRails_path]/ruby folder. And I still get that
error.

Do I need to configure/download/install something mode?

TIA

Daniel.

Dan,

Did the last answer to this question on ruby-talk work for you? If so,
then there’s no need to anyone to respond here. If not, then hopefully
someone here will have an answer for you.

I’m afraid not, I haven’t used it myself. Perhaps the author of the
package can help,

No problem, Curt! I’ll try to fix it myself… or workaround it :slight_smile:

Thanks for your support :wink:

Hi Curt!

There is something strange in my configuration… I swear that I’ve
install ruby-gd but i cannot find gd.rb nowhere… any hints?

TIA.

Dan.

Hi Jeff!

Thanks for your reply.

I have some doubts regarding GD library installation on my machine…
Should I install GD library (1.8 of course) from www.boutell.com or the
ruby-gd wrapper is enough? I believe it is not :slight_smile:

Anyway, I need a second opinion :stuck_out_tongue:

TIA

Dan.

I’ve experienced this exact same problem. Auth_generator was designed
with an earlier version of the GD library–I think it was made for
version 1.8, and version 2.something is the latest. Unfortunately it’s
not a seamless transition.

I’d be curious to find out if you learn the solution to this.
