I don't want to waste anyone's time, and I myself can be of little or no
use in relation to this possible issue as I'm too new to all the
technology involved - Ruby, Radiant, and Kubuntu Linux. But I can sketch
out the events and possible problem.
I'm running Kubunu 7.10 Linux, and Ruby 1.8.6. A few days ago I
attempted in install radiant, following the instructions on
http://radiantcms.org/download/.
I issued the command
% gem install --include-dependencies radiant
Then I tried the next one on that page...
% radiant --database sqlite3 path/to/project
and got an error I couldn't make sense of. I think it was this one...
/usr/bin/gem:23: uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner (NameError)
From this point on, all attempts to reference rubygems interactively
got this same error.
Somehow I got onto the #radiantcms irc channel and got some help - I was
told that it appeared that my rubygems had gone bad.
Since then I have upended the earth trying to get things back to normal.
Twice I posted to the ruby talk list about this problem, and got nothing
back. I reinstalled rubygems every way I could think of and learn about.
Nothing worked.
This morning, someone else posted this identical error message to
ruby-talk, asking for help. He stated that it happened after he issued
to his Ubuntu linux the command:
sudo gem update --system
He was told that was a no-no. Reference was made to
> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=452547
> http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/279841
He was told how to fix it, and I followed the instructions, and got back
my rubygems.
Now...I write because I'm thinking that there may be something in the
radiant gem install which causes this breakage - either something like
that "gem update --system" command, or something similar.
I can't check this out. Too ignorant. Maybe someone else will want to.
This was a nasty mess, and I've been utterly stuck for several days,
until this morning.
Hope this helps 'the cause'. If not, ignore it.
Now I'm off to see if I can finish the radiant setup, so I can begin
learning how to use this thing.
