RubyGems requesting win32/service on Red Hat Linux

Rails
1

Hi,

I successfully installed a RoR/Flex/Oracle application in a Windows
environment and am now in the process of trying the same in Linux.
Unfortunately, when I get to the part where I start Mongrel, I get the
following error message:

[root@localhost FDS_Server]# mongrel_rails start -e production -p 4001
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require’: no such file to load – win32/service
(LoadError)

I’ve seen something similar in Windows recently, where I’ve had to
install win32-service 0.5.2 as recommended by Luis L. (http://
Mongrel_Service Requires Win32-service | joe siao | Flickr), but this is a
brand new setup in Linux, rebuilt from source…

Here are a few details of my setup:

[root@localhost FDS_Server]# ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i686-linux]
[root@localhost FDS_Server]# gem -v
1.2.0
[root@localhost FDS_Server]# rails -v
Rails 2.1.0

I’d appreciate any help on this. Thanks,

Chris.

Luis L. pointed out to me on the Deploying Rails forum that
mongrel_service is specific to Windows… I uninstalled it and was
able to get Mongrel running in Linux.
