Hello Boulder Ruby, I am new to Ruby On Rails, and normally am willing to suffer through the long and winding road of apprenticeship that comes with learning any new environment; but in this case, I am reaching out to the local Ruby community to see if someone might be willing to help me with a tough installation problem to get me up and running.
I'm a developer with 15 years experience, but don't have the time to learn everything about the Ruby/Gems/Rails environment just to get it working. And I wouldn't send this message if it wasn't urgent; I've been going round and round for a couple of weeks trying to the mysql gem 2.8.1 to work with on the iMac Snow Leopard -- to no avail. This appears to be a well known bug in the community, and has given major headache to many. For a quick synopsis of this issue, an excellent thread is posted at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/991708/rails-mysql-and-snow-leopard Though I am trying all the suggestions mentioned there, I am no closer to getting this to work. I am using the example shown on the Apple Developer page http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html as a demo project, but am currently stuck at the step: rake db: migrate I really wanted to make it to your meeting this past Tuesday night, but only learned of it that day, and had too many other commitments to come. But if there are any iMac ROR gurus out there who are willing to make contact, please let me know. This project has professional ramifications for me, and I'd love to jump into ROR development, and become an active member in your community. Thanks much, -- Rick ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick Casey :: [email protected] :: 303.345.8893
