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
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: list gem finds missing gems
if you type list gem 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
