I installed BackgrounDRb this morning from GIT and cannot get it to start (mac leopard) I’ve installed all required gems. script/backgroundrb start script/backgroundrb:11:in `require’: no such file to load – /Users/greg/Sites/suac/script…/config/boot.rb (LoadError) from script/backgroundrb:11 Which is failing on require RAILS\_HOME + ‘/config/boot.rb’ If I give it a path and not sure why I would have to, it fails on backgroundrb\_server /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- backgroundrb_server (LoadError) from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in`require’ from script/backgroundrb:18 Any idea why this is? ---

More information on this problem.It’s isolated to my mac (leopard). I installed backgrounDRb on RHE4 and it works fine. So something is strange with my leopard/ruby I don’t get any require errors / loaderror any other time on my mac.

it seems that your application miss one gem. Do you have exactly the same gems (same version) on both configurations ? ---

I matched the gems to what’s on the server and still no luck. On Mon, Mar 3, 2008 at 11:14 AM, Greg N.

Problem solved. Apparently the trunk had an error in the loader. They told me to grab the newest from GIT and I re-ran the setup rake task. All is fine now. On Mon, Mar 3, 2008 at 11:36 AM, Greg N.
