• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description M. Edward Borasky 2005-09-24 11:03:20 UTC]

I just upgraded to ruby 1.8.3 and now Rails doesn't work:

znmeb@DreamGate ~ $ rails demo

This is in fact a known upstream problem, which I just found myself and an hour
or so later saw described on the Rails mailing list. So go ahead and mark this
"resolved upstream". :) The discussion can be found at

Created attachment 69262 [details, diff]
patch from http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/2245

i attached the patch from http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/2245 !
using the patch with "patch
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.1.1/lib/active_support/clean_logger.rb
as_clean_logger_rb-fixed.patch" fixed the problem for me!

So is this a Rails bug, a Ruby bug or an ActiveSupport bug? They're all in
Portage, right?

Speaking of which, how tightly integrated is Portage with the Ruby Gems package
management system? I'm just starting to learn all this Ruby and Rails stuff, and
in distros other than Gentoo, I've pretty much had to build Ruby from source,
install Ruby Gems and install everything as a Gem, rather than just being able
to go out and install an RPM or a DEB. I like the Gentoo way better. :)

emerge rails

hi, i think it's a activesupport bug!  
you can also see this on the patch 
path:  /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ACTIVE_SUPPORT-1.1.1/lib/ACTIVE_SUPPORT/clean_logger.rb
