Hi,

I have my rails application deployed on a 32-bit machine and I’m  
trying to move it to a 64-bit machine. Thing is, I have rails and gem  
installed in my home directory. I re-installed mongrel and  
mongrel\_cluster on the 64-bit machine. But when I issue any  
mongrel\_rails command, it hangs until I interrupt it with a ctrl+c,  
upon which I get the following dump:

me@64bitmachine$ mongrel\_rails -  
\*\* Ruby version is not up-to-date; loading cgi\_multipart\_eof\_fix  
/home/me/mygems/gems/mongrel-1.1.5/bin/…/lib/mongrel/gems.rb:8:in  
`require': Interrupt from /home/me/mygems/gems/mongrel-1.1.5/bin/../lib/mongrel.rb: 17 from /home/me/rubygems/lib/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in`gem\_original\_require’  
from /home/me/rubygems/lib/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in  
`require' from /home/me/mygems/gems/mongrel-1.1.5/bin/mongrel_rails:11 from /home/me/mygems/bin/mongrel_rails:19:in`load’  
from /home/me/mygems/bin/mongrel\_rails:19

Does anyone have an idea as to what is going wrong here?

Thanks!

Hi,

Shift to Ruby 1.8.7 ([Download Ruby](http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/)) rather than  
the  
inbuilt 1.8.5 this should solve your problem
