Im spotting an odd combination of issues with this emerge. During the emerge I get this even though actionpack 1.12.1 is installed. Actionpack 1.12.1 is the version thats available via emerge. ERROR: Error installing gem /var/tmp/portage/rails-1.0.0/distdir/rails-1.0.0[.gem]: rails requires actionpack = 1.11.2 The failure message is as follows. * Failed Patch: rails-1.0.0-rdoc-rake-0.7.patch ! * ( /var/portage/dev-ruby/rails/files/rails-1.0.0-rdoc-rake-0.7.patch ) * The contents of the error message/output would be ***** rails-1.0.0-rdoc-rake-0.7.patch ***** =========================================== PATCH COMMAND: patch -p0 -g0 -E --no-backup-if-mismatch < /var/portage/dev-ruby/rails/files/rails-1.0.0-rdoc-rake-0.7.patch =========================================== can't find file to patch at input line 5 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

You should probably try using a more recent version of rails, like 1.1.2
Just a small update. The version of rails thats in the portage build system is 1.0.0 The version of actionpack is 1.12.1. Ill grab the latest version from the rubyrails websites and see if it compiles.
the latest version of rails in portage is 1.1.2, but ppc hasn't marked it stable yet. I've just notified them to do so, though. This is the version you want to install.
Well, this is actually a plain and simple dependency issue. All recent version of the rails "stack" have been marked stable, while there is still a slottable install for the "older" version (1.0.0). To resolve the above issue I had to manually emerge (older, stable) versions of: =actionpack-1.11.2 =actionmailer-1.1.5 (had to re-emerge even if already on system) =actionwebservice-1.0.0 (again, re-emerge required) The ebuild of rails-1.0.0 does not require actionpack as a direct dependency, but probably one of the other action* ebuild installs the latest stable version of actionpack as a dependency and does not look out what version of rails is or will get installed. Hence some version muddle-ups on the way. Way to go? Probably put =actionpack-1.11.2 as a direct dependency in rails-1.0.0 ebuild and it should solve the issue. Side note (seems to fit into the topic of several different versions of rails): Here is some link that will probably point in the direction of saying that a multi-slotted gem-system is probably not possible without a lot of extra effort: http://duncandavidson.com/essay/2005/12/railsdeployment (Skip to lesson #7)
now that 1.1.2 is stable and 1.1.3 will be in portage soon, we'll probably just drop 1.0.0 and call it a day
The updated emerge went in fine and testing on it hasnt turned up anything obvious.
