Hi, I hope this is the coorect list to post this type of query to. If not please let me know to where it should be directed. I am running Ubuntu 6.06 with ruby 1.8.4, rails 1.1.6 and gem 0.8.11 I have created an empty application and added the method ‘hello’ to the controller. When I try to access this in webbrick my broswer page is blank and the output from the server is: 127.0.0.1 - - [19/Nov/2006:10:37:09 SAST] “GET /grope/hello HTTP/1.1” 200 0 - -\> /grope/hello [2006-11-19 10:37:09] ERROR MissingSourceFile: no such file to load – irb /usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:21:in `require__' /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in`require’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:147:in `require' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/breakpoint.rb:18 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:140:in`load’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:56:in `require_or_load' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:30:in`depend\_on’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:85:in `require_dependency' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:98:in`const\_missing’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:131:in `const_missing' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:133:in`const\_missing’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/dispatcher.rb:75:in `reset_after_dispatch' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/dispatcher.rb:46:in`dispatch’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/webrick\_server.rb:115:in `handle_dispatch' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/webrick_server.rb:81:in`service’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/httpserver.rb:104:in `service' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/httpserver.rb:65:in`run’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:173:in `start_thread' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:162:in`start\_thread’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:95:in `start' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:92:in`start’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:23:in `start' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:82:in`start’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/webrick\_server.rb:67:in `dispatch' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/commands/servers/webrick.rb:59 /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in`require’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:147:in `require' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/commands/server.rb:30 /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in`require’ /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:147:in `require’ script/server:3 If I look in custom\_require.rb is appears that I am missing the package ‘path’.
