I've been developing with rails for a couple of years and I'm finally
getting around to trying merb for the first time. The instructions on
the home page seemed simple enough, but I've run into a couple of
problems before even seeing the welcome page.
The first time i tried running merb, I got
Loading init file from /Users/pcf/prac/merb/my_application/config/
init.rb
Loading /Users/pcf/prac/merb/my_application/config/environments/
development.rb
/Users/prec is insecure (40730). It may not be group or world
writable. Exiting.
After figuring out that 'may not be' meant 'can not be' and not 'might
not be', I removed group write permission from the directory and tried
again. This time I got.
~ FATAL: The gem data_objects (= 0.9.10.1, runtime), [] was not
found
I apparently had version 0.9.10.1. I installed the required version
and was rewarded with
~ FATAL: The gem do_sqlite3 (= 0.9.10.1, runtime), [] was not
found
I managed to find dependencies.rb before totally losing my sanity, and
I changed dm_gems_version and do_gems_version to ">=0.9.10.1" so I can
finally see the fresh merb app screen, but I'm left with a couple of
questions before I go too much farther:
1) Why does merb REFUSE to run in a DEVELOPMENT environment if it
deems my home directory 'insecure', and what other directories or
resources is it going to monitor for me?
2) What's with the dependencies? Are things likely to break because I
changed = to >= ? Am I going to have to drag around a vendor
directory with all verions of all pages or make sure the gems on all
machines have every version of every gem? Or if I get around to RTFM-
ing will I find out there's some cool built-in solution?
thanks,
glenn
