Version hell…I have the latest version of gems installed and gems -v
proves this, but somewhere an old copy is hanging about - how do I get
rid of this old version? This is driving me nuts!
I seem to be getting conflicted installations of gems:
For example
$ ruby script/generate model product
Rails requires RubyGems >= 1.3.2 (you have 1.2.0). Please gem update --system and try again.
[email protected]:~/RoR/Apps/OpenBenefit/depot$ gem update --system
ERROR: While executing gem … (RuntimeError)
gem update --system is disabled on Debian. RubyGems can be updated
using the official Debian repositories by aptitude or apt-get.
[email protected]:~/RoR/Apps/OpenBenefit/depot$ gem -v
1.3.5
You installed Rubygems using apt-get which is… a very bad idea!
You should NEVER do this :D.
Just install rubygems using the source.

Did you install anything by mistake in ~/.gem ?

The weird thing is gem -v showing 1.3.5
However, you can try this on a Debian(-like) environment:
sudo gem install rubygems-update #( 1.3.7 should be the latest version)
sudo update_rubygems #if this doesn’t work, try finding the right
executable file in your gems path.
That would update your rubygems version.
Hope it helps.

Now need to get MySQL installed. I am having the following trouble
installing
sudo gem install mysql – --with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/mysql_config

Any ideas?

mysql_config exists and mysql is up and running! No idea why this
sometimes works and sometimes breaks. Before I managed this fine. Now
its not working and I cannot re-install the mysql gems!

it’s saying that you’re missing mkmf, which is part of the ruby
standard library. Looks like this is part of the ruby-dev package on
debian/ubuntu machines.
