 |
|
Folks,
Ruby on Rails newbie here.
I have followed the instructions in several gentoo posts here in the forum, but have not found a way to install ruby on rails on gentoo in a non-root account. Can someone explain all the steps necessary to install ruby on rails in Gentoo? I have tried everything and I have had the chance to try, and I am not not getting anywhere. Here's the current state of my x86_64 system:
| Code: | $<nonrootuser> ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-12-28 patchlevel 357) [x86_64-linux]
|
| Code: | $<nonrootuser> rails -v
Rails 2.3.14
|
| Code: | $<nonrootuser> gem -v
1.3.7
|
.
When I try to create a new app:
| Code: | $<nonrootuser> rails new first_app
/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.14/lib/rails_generator/options.rb:32:in `default_options': undefined method `write_inheritable_attribute' for Rails::Generator::Base:Class (NoMethodError)
from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.14/lib/rails_generator/base.rb:90
from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require'
from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.14/lib/rails_generator.rb:37
from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require'
from /usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.14/bin/rails:15
from /usr/bin/rails:8:in `load'
from /usr/bin/rails:8

Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Oh, I installed rvm like so:
| Code: | | emerge sys-libs/rvm |
but I really do not understand how to use it. I have run
| Code: | | $ gem install rails |
both as root and nonrootuser, and creation of a new app still does not work. At the very least, could someone point out how I could completely wipe out my previous installation and its files, config etc. in both root and nonrootuser so I can start over?
Thanks,
Sonny. |

I'll post a reply to my own post because someone else may find this useful. I have seen plenty of posts both here and on stackoverflow on this topic. I hope I do a good job of explaining this here so that it may help somebody else.
The main issue was that the binary executables I was looking for were pointing to the system-wide binaries, and those binaries were pointing to the libraries that need root access (recall that I wanted this to be a per-user configuration). Now, wherever I run rails, I run "$GEM_HOME/bin/rails" instead. Also, it is useful to set GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH in your .bashrc.
Hope this helps someone. |
