Alright, so I looked more info this and found out I was missing rblib,
which I couldn't find in git (where I got the codebase). I got it (the
rblib folder)from the cvs daily build and put it in ./ (the
whatdotheyknow directory) ./script and ./config in a directory called
rblib. I also copied the contents to each of those directories and the
error message went away.
Unfortunately, I've run into another trip-up when running the install script,
== ChangeRawEmailToBinary: migrating =========================================
-- change_column(:raw_emails, :data, :binary, {:null=>true})
rake aborted!
An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:
PGError: ERROR: column "data" cannot be cast to type "bytea"
: ALTER TABLE "raw_emails" ALTER COLUMN "data" TYPE bytea
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
Does anybody know what this means or how I might fix it?
Thanks,
Ringo
