Hello,
I’m having a problem with Rails since updating to Rails 2.3.2 and Ruby
1.9.1 on PPC MAC 10.5.6.
I installed twice,but still get the same error when trying to create a
new Rails app:
/Users/douglilla/.gem/ruby/1.9.1/gems/rails-2.3.2/lib/rails_generator/options.rb:32:in
default_options': undefined methodwrite_inheritable_attribute’ for
Rails::Generator::Base:Class (NoMethodError)

from /usr/local/bin/rails:19:in load' from /usr/local/bin/rails:19:in’
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

a) What’s does the following commands generate?
ruby -v
gem -v
b) Did you try to install Rails using the following?
sudo gem install rails

If that’s the case, why are your error messages referencing files in
/Users/douglilla/.gem
instead
<parent_directory_of_gem_repository>/gem
Usually, this happens when you do not perform the installation of gems
as root and the gem executable will use ${HOME}/.gem as the fallback.
OK, what’s does the following produce?
gem environment

Here’s what the command gem environment lists:
Doug-Lillas-Computer:~ douglilla$ gem environment

I guess I will need to reinstall? My set-up was working fine until I
upgraded. Thanks for your help!

examine files in directory /Users/douglilla/.gem? yes
Apparently a lot of gems got installed in the wrong directory??
Thanks,

DL, all you gems should be installed in the following:
For Ruby 1.9.1 gems: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1
For Ruby 1.8 gems: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
Thus, you shouldn’t be installing your gems ${HOME}/.gems because this
isn’t
the
correct place for them if you’re using sudo.
Good luck,
-Conrad

Conrad,
I used the command you suggested, ended up deleting some 1.8 files and
then came up with this:
Doug-Lillas-Computer:~ douglilla$ rm -rfi ${HOME}/.gem
examine files in directory /Users/douglilla/.gem? yes
examine files in directory /Users/douglilla/.gem/ruby? yes
examine files in directory /Users/douglilla/.gem/ruby/1.8? yes
examine files in directory /Users/douglilla/.gem/ruby/1.8/cache? yes
remove /Users/douglilla/.gem/ruby/1.8/cache/actionmailer-2.3.2.gem? no
remove /Users/douglilla/.gem/ruby/1.8/cache/actionpack-2.3.2.gem? no
