Merb/Rubygems Upgrade Errors

1 Comment

The Merb team worked very hard to realease Merb 1.0 after several release candidates and it is a wicked framework. Upgrading is pretty easy since all you have to do is install the Merb metapackage. However, several people have been having issues with Rubygems when upgrading to the new version of Merb. If you’re in Leopard, you may get a response saying that Merb requires Rubygems version > 1.3 to work. You may try to upgrade Rubygems, but you get another response saying there is nothing to update. Hmmm….what to do?

Well, the fix is pretty simple. All you have to do is run one line of code (technically it’s two, but this is easier):

sudo gem install rubygems-update && sudo update_rubygems

Then all you have to do is install Merb and everything should work fine:

sudo gem install merb

Now you can play around with the beautifulness that is Merb 1.0!

About

I’ve always had an interest in computers and I’ve always been fairly good with them. I learned by watching my dad do his thing since I was little. I’ve done a little programming here and there with no formal learning and not too much to show for it. Everything I know about computers I pick up on my own by usually reading stuff on the internet. I can learn programming languages fairly easy–it sort of comes naturally to me. I’ve learned a little bit of everything, but I focus mainly on web development languages. I have been doing freelance web design for about two years now and I really love it. You can check out my portfolio to see what I have accomplished so far with it. I dislike Windows in the extreme and I’ve really grown fond of Linux over the last year or so. Other than web development and Linux, I love to work with pretty much everything else that has to do with technology.

For now, I thought it would be a good idea to list the sites that I have worked on so far:

KJ Gamble Enterprises, LLC

Debbie Parrish Photography

Complete Counseling Services

Valeras Studios

I have several others that I am currently working on and will post them soon.
