Updating to RubyOnRails 1.1
So there is a new version of RubyOnRails out.
I have been upgrading my mbrship development environment to it. Not quite as good as the instructions (see bottom of post) imply and lots of distractions on the way.
The first problem was that the version of Ruby installed with Ubuntu is actually 1.8.3 (although labelled as 1.8.2.9…) and you need to be using 1.8.2 or better 1.8.4 so I uninstalled my Ruby and all it’s stuff.
The second problem came after installing Ruby from source. The setup for Ruby Gems failed with some zlib error. I eventually found the solution here.
The third problem was that /usr/bin/env ruby seemed to have been left pointing to the old, uninstalled version. Adding a symbolic link called ruby1.8 to /usr/bin pointing at the new ruby solved that.
Having done this I then discovered a new version of RadRails (0.6.1) so I have installed that. I have not yet, but want to try it’s integration with subversion.
Now I discover I need to install an update to WP for this blog (done)
Maybe now I can play a bit more with mbrship.
Anyway here are a few more related links:
