Port bug: rb-rails dependencies may be out of order

[frank.mcpherson@…]

I get an error from rb-activesupport when installing rb-rails with no existing Macports ruby install:

sudo port install rb-rails

I didn't spend much time on identifying or fixing the problem, but it does appear to have a workaround. First, install ruby, then rb-rubygems, then rb-rails, one at a time.

It seems to me that this bug is not to do with the dependency listing of rb-rails, but rather the bug described in ticket:11751. I'll assign this to myself with a view to closing it as invalid in a couple of weeks, unless I get information that suggests a different cause.

The solution in ticket:11751 doesn't work for me, I keep getting the same error.

Replying to gjznituv@gmail.com:

The solution in ticket:11751 doesn't work for me, I keep getting the same error.

In that case, could you try:

1. cleaning rb-activesupport;
2. uninstalling rb-rubygems;
3. cleaning rb-rubygems;
4. installing rb-rubygems again; and then
5. installing rb-rails with port's debug flag (-d).

If that doesn't work, let us know output you get.

great, works now. thanks.

I just encountered the same problem with macports 1.6

The procedure outlined above by boeyms@… does solve the problem but just (automatically) installing rb-rails does not work...

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

The fact that cleaning and trying again fixes the problem suggests that this may have been another case of the Tcl env bug, which has been worked around in MacPorts 1.7.0. See #13930, #16010, #16233.

Was this problem being encountered on Leopard? Can it be reproduced with MP 1.7?
