Hello all,

I got up this morning and finally got around to compiling and  
installing 2.8.4 on my ibook. Everything seemed fine 'til I tried to  
crank up my time keeping application that I wrote in Rails. This  
triggered the Logger error, which somehow I had not heard about yet,  
so I did some googling and learned that it has been a recognized bug  
for several weeks now.

SO, I decided to update all my gems, but this triggered an “ERROR  
While executing gem” message. Can’t remember what the error was. I ran  
the command again and got another “ERROR while executing gem” message,  
but this time it was a different error. (Something about an invalid  
date.) So, I tried a third time and this time it seemed to be doing  
fine - started installing the various dependencies, etc.

Then it crashed on an RDoc error. So I cranked it up again and it  
moved on to more updates. Then a different RDoc crash.

Cranked it up, another (different) RDoc crash. Cranked it up, another  
(different) RDoc crash.

Ugghh. Does everybody get these errors when they update their gems? I  
guess I’ll turn off RDoc next time, but I will miss having offline  
documentation.

Oh, the “Rails does nasty things to Logger” bug, you have very old  
Rails apps then.

What errors?

Nobody can help you if you don’t supply the necessary detail.
