It seems likely that you don’t have all the build tools installed or in
your user’s PATH.

irb(main):001:0> reqire ‘cassandra’

Mis-spelled require.

irb(main):001:0> require ‘thrift’

require works, so your Ruby is at least partially working then,

What’s wrong?

What’s your environment, and what steps have taken you to this point?
It’s impossible to guess at this stage. Are you able to compile and
install other applications from the command line with this user?

So what is your build environment? Which compiler is installed, what
version of Linux is this, are you running it inside a VM or anything odd
like that? It sounds like you have ruby and rubygems installed fine, but
you don’t have the compiler or your environment set correctly to build
anything that is processor-native. Ruby code per se is cross-platform,
since it’s an interpreted language. But anything in a gem that needs
lower-level access to the hardware will often have to call out to a
cross-compiler and create and link some C code or similar. That’s where
your environment is breaking down, from what I have seen. When you get
that part working, you will be in better shape to use gem to install
these more “binary” gems.

Unfortunately you have lost all the context by not quoting the
previous messages, but if I remember correctly you are having problems
building the native extensions. Try, in a terminal,

sudo apt-get install build-essential bison openssl libreadline6
libreadline6-dev curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev
libyaml-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev autoconf

If you want to use mysql then also
sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby libmysqlclient-dev

and if you want to use nokigirii
sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev

The above might install a few things you do not need but they should
not do any harm.

In addition, if you are using rails 3 you need not install the gems
manually, just make sure they are included in Gemfile and do
bundle install
to install them.

Before you do that, be sure to run

sudo apt-get update

…first, and let it do whatever it wants to do. I have wasted many
minutes when I forget to do that first.

I would try

rvm get head

that will update RVM to the latest. Then

rvm install 1.9.2

I know you have it installed, but do it again to get the latest version.
Then:

git update --system

Then

gem install cassandra

And then read, parse, and act on the results of that last command. If it
says something like, “Install failed, install log is here with the
results of that failure” then locate and read that install log. Try to
take each error one at a time, and resolve it. You may have to go back
to the gem install cassandra line many, many times, once per thing you
change from the install errors log.

This part of compiling software is often compared to shaving a yak. Fun?
Not really. If you need a shiny yak, then essential.

I recently started learning Rails and I’m sorry for my English (I live
in Moscow) =)
The Russian Rails Group of developers to me no one could help …

Initialy, I installed Ubuntu 11.10, then updated apt-get.
Next, install the RVM and Ruby.

Cassandra has installed the following instructions:

How do I link my application on Rails 3 and Cassandra?

Thank you all!

Upgrade Notes

rvm_trust_rvmrcs has been changed to rvm_trust_rvmrcs_flag for
consistency
Project rvmrc files are now checked for trust whenever they
change, as promised by the note displayed during the review process
Ruby package dependency list for your OS is given by: rvm
requirements
If you encounter any issues with a ruby ‘X’ your best bet is to:
rvm get head && rvm reinstall X
If you see the following error message: Unknown alias name:
‘default’ re-set your default ruby, this is due to a change in how
default works.
after_use and after_cd hook now supports multiple files with
after__ the custom hooks can be easily turned on/off by:
chmod +x /usr/share/ruby-rvm/hooks/after_cd_[hook_name] chmod -x /
usr/share/ruby-rvm/hooks/after_use_[hook_name]
If your shell exits on entering directory with freshly checked out
sources you should update .rvmrc file, and replace any exit with
return .

Upgrade of RVM in /usr/share/ruby-rvm/ is complete.

Wow. How much control do you have over this server? Can you remove the
Debian gem package and re-install gem from source? My sysadmin skills
are limited to Mac OS X Server, Solaris, and Ubuntu, so I don’t have any
more specific advice for you there. If you can, I would take everything
off – gem, Ruby, everything except the build tools basically. Then use
the RVM installer to install Ruby and gem in one go. Here’s my (Ubuntu)
recipe for that (do all of this as root):

aptitude safe-upgrade
aptitude update
aptitude install build-essential openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev
curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-0
libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev
ncurses-dev automake libtool bison subversion libcurl4-openssl-dev
apache2 apache2-dev apache2-prefork-dev libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev
mysql-server mysql-dev
(preceding should be all one line, naturally)

bash < <(curl -sk
https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)

log out and back in

rvm install 1.9.2
rvm default 1.9.2

gem update --system
gem install passenger
(follow instructions from the installer)

passenger-install-apache2-module
(follow instructions from the installer)

If you don’t have aptitude, you can substitute apt-get for it where
noted above, I have used them interchangeably in the past.

I second the suggestion to use RVM instead of the debian packages for
ruby
and rubygems. I’ve generally found the packages to be problematic with
a
lot of newer gems. I read a while ago that the people who maintain the
Debian ruby packages are essentially unsupported and few in number, so
updates to those packages are very infrequent. I think they basically
said
not to expect a Debian package for 1.9.2 anytime soon.
