Missing base64 library in Ruby1.9, cannot run cloudkit

Ruby

Hi,
I install cloudkit. I have followed the steps in the manual
(CloudKit via cURL), but when I execute “rackup
config.ru”, I get this error message:

/usr/lib/ruby1.9/gems/1.9.0/gems/oauth-0.4.0/lib/oauth/helper.rb:2:in

I cannot find somewhere how to fix this error in ruby 1.9, please help
me.

Thanks.

Try this at the command line:

$ irb19 --simple-prompt

require ‘base64’
=> true
RUBY_DESCRIPTION
=> “ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-07-18 trunk 24186) [i686-linux]”

If it fails, it’s probably because you have an old, development version
of 1.9. Switch forward to 1.9.1 or later, or back to 1.8.7.

Output:

require ‘base64’
LoadError: no such file to load – base64
from (irb):1:in require' from (irb):1 from /usr/bin/irb1.9:12:in’

RUBY_DESCRIPTION

I have installed ruby1.9 from debian lenny repositories, it’s bad? Argh
:frowning:
Ok, i try downgrade to 1.8, but I thought that the new version will be
stable :frowning:
Is any other solution other than compile new ruby?

Thanks

Install base64.rb yourself? (Into either your ruby lib dir or your app’s
lib dir)

http://svn.ruby-lang.org/repos/ruby/trunk/lib/base64.rb

Nice, it works, many thanks :slight_smile:
