Merb/Rubygems Upgrade Errors
Posted by geetarista November 13, 2008
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!
