Hello, I’ve installed Ruby 1.8.4 via Darwinports, installed gem 0.8.11 too and then installed Rails via gem. I’m using OS X 10.3.9. When I now type rails in the terminal, the following lines appear: # rails /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/ active\_support/values/time\_zone.rb:12: undefined method `attr_reamer' for TimeZone:Class (NoMethodError) from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in`require’ from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/ active\_support/dependencies.rb:214:in `require' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/ active_support.rb:36 from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in`require’ from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/ active\_record.rb:30 from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:21:in `require' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:182:in`activate’ from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:181:in `activate' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:167:in`activate’ from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:166:in `activate' from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:37:in`require\_gem\_with\_options’ from /opt/local/lib/ruby/vendor\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:31:in `require\_gem’ from /opt/local/bin/rails:17 Something seems to be broken. I’ve deinstalled and installed rails again, but nothing happens. Thanks for any help, Marc ---

You can try to move ruby that came with OS X and softlink the newly installed ruby. 1. sudo mv /usr/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby.org 2. sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/ruby /usb/bin/ruby If you installed darwinports with default values /usr/local will become /opt/bin (as I recall it) in item 2. regards Claus ---

Thank you, but I put /opt/local/bin to my path-variable in /etc/profile, so the ruby-verison from /opt/local/bin/ (darwinports directory) will allready be used. When I type # ruby --version I get ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [powerpc-darwin7.9.0] So it allready uses the darwinports-ruby. Any ideas?! Marc Am 15.03.2006 um 11:25 schrieb Claus G.: ---

Ha! It works 🙂 I changed attr\_reamder into attr\_reader. Hm, I’m wondering why this bug only happens to me 😉 Greetings, Marc Am 15.03.2006 um 13:11 schrieb Marc Hanisch: ---

Line 12 of my copy of that file is: attr\_reader :name, :utc\_offset Perhaps you should reinstall the gems, to be safe. regards Justin ---

Is it possible, that there is no method attr\_reamer… I googled for it and only found a method called attr\_reader. Should I try to change this in opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/ active\_support/values/time\_zone.rb ?! Best regards, Marc Am 15.03.2006 um 11:36 schrieb Marc Hanisch:
