Problem running Buildr

Ruby
1

Hello,

I have a huge problem: I’m new to ruby and I need to use buildr 1.3.5 in
order to build Apache ODE 1.3.4.
I can not get it running. I manage to install different buildr versions
on different machines and ruby installs without problems, it’s the
execution of buildr that doesn’t work.

I have tried many different versions of ruby. For older versions
(<=1.8.7-p334), the normal buildr version (1.4.6) works, but 1.3.5 fails
to launch (rake.rb:2503 in ‘const missing’: uninitialized constant
GEM::Requirement::OP_RE (NameError)).
I have no clue what this message means, nor how to fix it.

For newer ruby versions, no version of buildr will function at all,
though with a different error (buildr >=0 not found, though it’s in the
following list).

I’m using Windows7-64, but also tried with XP and Ubuntu with the same
results. I think I need a very specific version of ruby for 1.3.5 to
work. Does anyone know which one I would need? Can someone please point
me to where I can find older versions of ruby for Windows (1.8.7-p<249)?

I think your question will be better answered by Buildr folks.

Try asking at Buildr mailing list:
http://buildr.apache.org/mailing_lists.html

Or report it as a bug:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/Buildr
