Steps to update developers versions of mx from 1.6 to 2.02

working on a mac 10.4. just the steps listed as I go through them to update. seems the errors I was getting requiring fixes do not always happen when trying to update. Includes the steps Matt emailed on Feb. 29th. You may not need to sudo every step

Basic Steps: try these first

Step 1: type sudo gem update --system

Step 2: type sudo gem install rails --include-dependencies # will update to rails 2.02

Step 3: type sudo gem install mysql #2 comes without adapters, this installs the mysql one

Step 4: type sudo gem cleanup

Step 5: type sudo gem cleanup #suggested to run this command twice

Problem: uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner (NameError)

  * sudo gem install mysql resulted in the error uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner (NameError)
  * had to add this line require 'rubygems/gem_runner' to my gem file before could run the command to do this
     * first  type cd /usr/bin/ or the path your gem is installed could be /usr/local/bin/
     * sudo emacs gem  Type the line so the file looks like the image below, then type ctrl-x ctrl-c to exit emacs. 

You are modifying a file that is usually write protected. Just a warning. Type man emacs in the command line for more hints.

     * then continued with Step 3.

Problem: gem list finds missing gems

if you type

   gem list 

should produce a list like like this:

  *** LOCAL GEMS ***
  actionmailer (2.0.2)
  actionpack (2.0.2)
  actionwebservice (1.2.6)
  activerecord (2.0.2)
  activeresource (2.0.2)
  activesupport (2.0.2)
  gem_plugin (0.2.3)
  mysql (2.7.3)
  rails (2.0.2)
  rake (0.8.1)
  RedCloth (3.0.4)
  ruby-debug (0.10.0)
  ruby-debug-base (0.10.0)
  rubygems-update (1.0.1)
  sources (0.0.1)

I was missing ruby-debug and gem_plugin so installed those:

 sudo gem install ruby-debug

and

sudo gem install gem_plugin
