Hi,

I’ve problem with my Ruby running debian unstable (sid) 2.6.39-2-amd64

I’ve got these packages from debian repository:

ii libruby1.8 1.8.7.352-2
Libraries necessary to run Ruby 1.8
ii libtcltk-ruby1.8 1.8.7.352-2
Tcl/Tk interface for Ruby 1.8
ii ruby1.8 1.8.7.352-2
Interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby 1.8
ii ruby1.8-dev 1.8.7.352-2
Header files for compiling extension modules for the Ruby 1.8
ii ruby1.8-full 1.8.7.352-2
Ruby 1.8 full installation
ii rubygems 1.7.2-1
package management framework for Ruby libraries/applications
ii rubygems1.8 1.7.2-1
Transitional package for rubygems
ii rubygems 1.7.2-1
package management framework for Ruby libraries/applications
ii rubygems1.8 1.7.2-1
Transitional package for rubygems

Over gem install I’ve installed these gems

columnize (0.3.4)
dbd-odbc (0.2.5)
dbi (0.4.5)
deprecated (3.0.0, 2.0.1)
ini (0.1.1)
json (1.5.3)
linecache (0.46)
rbx-require-relative (0.0.5)
ruby-debug (0.10.4)
ruby-debug-base (0.10.4)

And this is env:

RubyGems Environment:

  • RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.7.2
  • RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [x86_64-linux]

I wrote a simple script:

#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
require ‘rubygems’
require ‘ini’

BEGIN {
puts “Initializing script”
}

Initialize backend

inifname=‘/path/to/some.ini’ unless inifname
@ini=Ini.load(inifname)
puts @ini

It returns this error:

ruby --debug parseini.rb
Exception `LoadError’ at /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:1340

  • no such file to load – rubygems/defaults/operating_system

    /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36 - no such

    #Ini:0x7ffb63852dc8

but! When I start irb and type:
irb(main):003:0> require ‘rubygems’
=> true
irb(main):004:0> require ‘ini’
=> true

I’ve tried to set a env variable:
GEM_HOME=/var/lib/gems/

but still the same, does anybody knows what’s goin on?
Or it would be better to ask at debian forum?

Thanks.

ruby --debug parseini.rb

This is not an error. You passed --debug to ruby and that makes Ruby to
print all exceptions that happen to the console.

When you do require "ini", The new require provided by first tries
to load from the current $LOAD_PATH, and that raises a LoadError because
ini is not installed system wide. Rubygems handles that exception,
activates the gem (what adds the gem’s lib/ directory to the
$LOAD_PATH), and then tries require 'ini' again. And it works: if you
notice the end of the output, your script wrote the Ini object to the
standard output.

Hi,

Isn’t that the expected behaviour of --debug?
