InstantRails windows Installation, problem with Gem

Ruby
1

Hi Good Morning,
I downloaded and installed the Instant Rails 1.7 from the website
onto my local windows xp machine in
C:\ruby\InstantRails-1.7-win\InstantRails

then I ran the following to update the version of RubyGems that comes
with InstantRails:
C:\InstantRails> gem update --system

I get the following error: (could someone help me where I am going
wrong)
thanks.

Hi, I’m not sure if this will help you, but there’s a file called
use_ruby.cmd that should be run from your console before you use
InstantRails for anything else. Have you done that?

Cheers,
Mohit.

make sure gems/sources-x-x directory exists
maybe edit rbconfig.rb ('s) that exist, point them to your directory
where you installed it.

Hi Mohit/Roger
Thanks for your response
After I sent the message I just un-installed everything and am
redoing unzipping to a new dir C:/InstantRails-1.7-win.

then I am planning to run tests as you have mentioned.

will keep you posted on this forum regarding the progress.

Thanks again.
Ron.

Ron, I agree with the other post - try running it multiple time, seems
like an intermittent problem.

Try running it several times–that usually means a poor connection or
something (?)

C:\InstantRails-1.7-win\InstantRails\rails_apps>gem update --system
Updating RubyGems…
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)

Hi thanks for responding,
I ran the command several times.
but no luck.
I still get the same error message.

Is there anything else that I need to do

Thanks again for your help.
Ron.

Hi Mohit,

I am installing this at work place
on my local hard drive and use proxy to connect to internet.

Thanks
Ron.

Are you behind a proxy?

Hello Again,

I ran the following:
----------------- (1)
C:\InstantRails-1.7-win\InstantRails\ruby\bin>gem update -p
http://:80
ERROR: While executing gem … (NoMethodError)
undefined method `[]=’ for #Gem::ConfigFile:0x2bc92cc

------ (2)
tried the same by setting env var
c:…>set HTTP_PROXY=
c:,> gem update -http_proxy
get the same result.

Any kind of input is highly appreciated.
Thanks again
Ron.

Hi Ron

I’m a bit perplexed now. There are 2 things you can look at:

http://angrys0ul.com/blog/2007/04/25/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-on-a-windows-pc/
If you’re looking at updating Rails (I’ve forgotten your original post),
you can look at the hints in this article for installing gems locally
(by downloading the archive)

  1. http://rubygems.org/read/chapter/15 and
    http://rubygems.org/read/chapter/19
    These show the basic FAQ for installation problems.

  2. http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/RailsOnWindows
    This shows the commands related to installing from behind a proxy. It
    seems that you should do:
    If you need to use a proxy, add ’-p http://proxy:port’ to all gem
    install commands. It seems that the proxy method you used might not
    work on Windows.

Hope one of these methods works for you.

Cheers,
Mohit.

run gem help
look for how to do gem help on commands
do that
look for gem help on install command
do that
run with backtrace and debug turned on
repost :slight_smile:
Take care!

I wonder if you could fix it by downloading rubygems again (from its
site)…

Will do that.

Thanks again.
Ron.
