-- bRXN+DNvK35vcLXqdOI Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable i did just figure one part of this: i have to apt-get uninstall every ruby library i have installed via apt-get, and reinstall them all from source. ouch. but that'll probably fix my postgresql problem. (?) hmmm...i wish rpkg had more packages! don't you all think its about time to convert the RAA over to utilizing rpkg? i think rpkg really needs to become a standard part of ruby. us debian folk know why ;-) and, one more thing. i don't think these version directories under site-ruby are a good idea. why have them? most packages will work just fine from one update to another. and if one does not, shouldn't the package maintainer take care of the versioning within the package itself? just some thoughts that may make life a easier. ~transami On Fri, 2002-08-30 at 17:53, Tom Sawyer wrote: > so i went ahead and started moving over to 1.7. > > but a ways into it i realized i had no idea how to properly do so. > > i started by compiling 1.7.3 from source and that went fine. and works. > > but all my libraries are in /usr/local/lib/site-ruby/1.6. ruby 1.7 has a > slightly different dir structure: /usr/local/lib/ruby/site-ruby/1.7. so > i just thought all i would need to do is copy all the stuff in 1.6 to > this 1.7 directory. so i did. > > but now DBD/DBI doesn't work, saying it can't find the Pg driver. that's > when i realized i'm not at all sure how i should be going about this. > what's the proper way to upgrade to 1.7+? > > FYI- i run debian woody and had 1.6.5 via apt-get, and i haven't yet > uninstalled it. > > -transami > -- ~transami -- bRXN+DNvK35vcLXqdOI Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQA9cBLnITYvPhXYDikRAorzAKCC0KuRWi3pspA5ZyG3Ay0u26A2ZgCfZKeD ohFKctdMs+7HeRHWribQObU bH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- bRXN+DNvK35vcLXqdOI--
