Looking over the gitorious source, the config/environment.rb file specifically requires that version. A quick scan of the rdiscount source history shows that the most notable changes made between 1.3.1.1 and 1.3.4 were moving up the underlying Discount version and correcting the issue with funopen you’ve run into above. Just fix the line in environment.rb and things should be fine. –Matt J. ---

sorry for late reply I rebuild rdiscount after changing “s.version = ‘1.3.1.1’” in rdiscount.gemspec file. this fooled gitorious while version check 😉 Regards, -Manish Matt J. wrote: > On Jul 9, 3:04�am, Manish A.

Is there some reason that you can’t just fix the config.gem line in Gitorious’s environment.rb? Seriously, the next developer on the project is going to be severely confused… –Matt J.

yea, because in environment.rb its clearly mentioned config.gem “rdiscount”, :version =\> “1.3.1.1” but at the time of installing rdiscount it wants version = “1.3.1.1” Matt J. wrote: > Is there some reason that you can’t just fix the config.gem line in > Gitorious’s environment.rb? > > Seriously, the next developer on the project is going to be severely > confused… > > –Matt J. > > On Jul 17, 4:27�am, Manish A.

That’s what the config.gem line means. Changing it to: config.gem ‘rdiscount’, :version =\> ‘\>= 1.3.1.1’ will work, as will config.gem ‘rdiscount’, :version =\> ‘1.3.4’ –Matt J.
