#36520: rb-rails: doesn't install rails ------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: Deil.Christoph@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: | Port: rb-rails ------------------------------+-------------------------------- I installed the `rb-rails` port without problems, but when I try to issue a rails command I get this message: {{{ $ rails Rails is not currently installed on this system. To get the latest version, simply type: $ sudo gem install rails You can then rerun your "rails" command. }}} Why was the rails not found and I have to re-install it via {{{sudo gem install rails}}}? So I followed the advice and installed rails via `gem`: {{{ $ sudo gem install rails Password: Building native extensions. This could take a while...

Note that some of these gems had already been installed as {{{rb-rails}}} dependencies via Macports: {{{ $ port deps rb-rails Full Name: rb-rails @2.3.5_0 Library Dependencies: ruby, rb-rubygems, rb-rake, rb-activesupport, rb- activerecord, rb-actionpack, rb-actionmailer, rb-activeresource, rb- sqlite3 }}} Still rails is not found: {{{ $ rails Rails is not currently installed on this system. To get the latest version, simply type: $ sudo gem install rails You can then rerun your "rails" command. }}} Here's some more info on what is on my PATH: {{{ $ ruby --version ruby 1.8.7 (2012-06-29 patchlevel 370) [i686-darwin12] $ which rails /opt/local/bin/rails $ which gem /opt/local/bin/gem $ gem --version 1.3.7 }}} With other software Macports has worked very well for me. Now I wanted to give ruby and rails a try, but installation (as a newbie that doesn't know about version differences and where gems are installed and found ...) with Macports has been disappointing. See #36518 and #36519 for the problems I ran into trying to install rb19-rails. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36520> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
