I successfully installed will\_paginate on my workstation and ist works  
fine.

Now I want to deploy the new version via vlad to my server. I’ve  
sucessfully run

gem install will\_paginate

as root.

Any attempt to run

rake gems:install

from the server root folder fails with:

rake gems:install  
rake aborted!  
No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb,  
Rakefile.rb)  
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake.rb:2377:in  
`raw\_load\_rakefile’  
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Running

rake vlad:update vlad:migrate vlad:start

fails with these messages:

Missing these required gems:  
mislav-will\_paginate ~\> 2.3.2

You’re running:  
ruby 1.8.6.111 at /usr/bin/ruby1.8  
rubygems 1.3.5 at /home/inet/.gem/ruby/1.8, /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

## Run `rake gems:install` to install the missing gems. (in /home/inet/oag-server/releases/20100315163708) rake aborted! execution failed with status 1: ssh oag-server cd /home/inet/oag-server/releases/20100315163708; rake RAILS\_ENV=production db:migrate

What is going wrong? Why doesn’t vlad find will\_paginate?

Ok, I got it.

After running vlad, I logged into the server and cd’ed int the current  
folder of my application. Then run ‘rake gems:install’ - will\_paginate  
gets installed.

Then rerun vlad and it succeeds.

This is a really odd installation procedure…

Isn’t it easier to use will\_paginate as a rails plugin?

Just asking.

Is it possible? There is no notice on installing as plugin in the docs.
