I’m having problems trying to freeze local rails gem to my app with: ``` rake freeze_gems ``` On OSX 10.4.6 i get the following error: ``` Illformed requirement [=#] ``` This is the full output: Freezing to the gems for Rails 1.1.0 rm -rf vendor/rails mkdir -p vendor/rails cd vendor/rails Unpacked gem: ‘activesupport-1.3.0’ mv activesupport-1.3.0 activesupport Unpacked gem: ‘activerecord-1.14.0’ mv activerecord-1.14.0 activerecord Unpacked gem: ‘actionpack-1.12.0’ mv actionpack-1.12.0 actionpack Unpacked gem: ‘actionmailer-1.2.0’ mv actionmailer-1.2.0 actionmailer Unpacked gem: ‘actionwebservice-1.1.0’ mv actionwebservice-1.1.0 actionwebservice ERROR: While executing gem … (ArgumentError) Illformed requirement [=#\] rake aborted! exit Any ideas?

Until then you have to use > rake rails:freeze:edge See this ticket, which is the same bug: [http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4458](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4458) Since it’s a very simple fix, rather than bother with the patch (which I think won’t work against this version of the file anyway, since it’s expecting the edge not gem version), I just applied the fix manually by editing: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.0/lib/tasks/framework.rake That’s the path on Gentoo Linux - might be different for you. Anyway, find line 9 that says: rails = version = ENV[‘VERSION’] ? … and change it to… rails = ( version = ENV[‘VERSION’] ) ? … and you can freeze from 1.1 gem Rails. 🙂 ~Dave – Dave S.

I’m trying to get Capistrano going on my development box by following the manual at [Peak Obsession](http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/98#page297). When I go to execute the setup task ``` rake remote:exec ACTION=setup ``` I get ``` no such file to load -- openssl ``` I found a post on this list where some people had success fixing this problem by ``` apt-get install libopenssl-ruby ``` Since I’m running Ubuntu, I tried this suggestion. Alas, this doesn’t solve the problem for me. Ruby looks for openssl.so in /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-linux, but apt put it in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i486-linux. Unfortunately, simply copying the .so to the right directory isn’t good enough. Then I get /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/security.rb:18: uninitialized constant OpenSSL::Digest::SHA1 (NameError) openssl.rb is in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8. Is that where it’s supposed to be? If not, what did I do wrong that it ended up there? BTW, I’m running ruby 1.84 w/rails 1.1 and rake 0.7.1. Thanks! Nate ---

Thanks. Seems to have fixed it. ---

This is a frank guess, but do you have the net-ssh, and net-sftp gems installed? I recall that there were some problems with the Capistrano gem where the dependencies were not specified (or weren’t specified correctly.) Give that a try and see what happens. – Good luck, Ray ---

The problems can vary depending on timing. Use this syntax in rails 1.0: rake freeze\_gems REVISION=4170 where 4170 is whatever revision you prefer. With rails 1.1, use this syntax: rake rails:freeze:edge REVISION=4170
