IRB error message (dyld: NSLinkModule() error)

Rails
1

Hi folks,
I’m new to Rails. I picked up Simply Rails 2 by Patrick Lenz a few weeks
ago and I finally sat down to get stuck into it. I have Rails installed
on my iMac (OS X Leopard) and I can load up the Rails Welcome screen at
localhost:3000 without any issues.

My problem is with running IRB within Terminal.

If I try to run:
irb> 1

I receive the error:
dyld: NSLinkModule() error
dyld: Symbol not found: _rl_filename_completion_function
Referenced from:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i686-darwin9.5.0/readline.bundle
Expected in: flat namespace

Trace/BPT trap

I have no idea why this is appearing or how to fix it.

My setup is:
Ruby version 1.8.6 (i686-darwin9.5.0)
RubyGems version 1.3.0
Rails version 2.1.2
Active Record version 2.1.2
Action Pack version 2.1.2
Active Resource version 2.1.2
Action Mailer version 2.1.2
Active Support version 2.1.2
Application root /Users/cormacmoylan/shovell
Environment development
Database adapter sqlite3
Database schema version 0

Thanks for any assistance in the matter.
C.

hi
Excellent book by the way
Also highly reccomend railscasts.com

Now
Are you running from your site dir ./script/console ?

You are passing nothing meanningful to the console

Yes. 1 is a number but it has to follow some method like 1.class

Which will return >> fixnum
