HELP!! Installing Rails on OS X breaks irb??

John N. Alegre

OK .. I need help.

According to the info out on the Hivelogic site for Rails to work on OS X I
had to do a build and install of Ruby and Rails to /usr/local. I did so
and Rails is working fine. However when I try to use irb I get this
error ..

salamanca:~ jna$ irb
dyld: NSLinkModule() error
dyld: Symbol not found: _rl_completion_matches
Referenced
from: /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/powerpc-darwin8.4.0/readline.bundle
Expected in: flat namespace

Trace/BPT trap

If I use the installed /usr/bin/irb everything works fine. What did I
break? Another question is if the Hivelogic info is correct. Is there a
way to get Rails working with stock OS X ruby.

(I have OS X 10.4.3 which comes with Ruby 1.8)

All comments welcome .. PLEASE

john

I had readline troubles with Ruby 1.8.4 too (I have OS X 10.3, which
came with a much older version of Ruby, but I had already upgraded to
to Ruby 1.8 without trouble). I finally gave up trying to fix it
myself and installed the DarwinPorts version of Ruby 1.8.4. Then I had
no trouble with Ruby on Rails. Here's what worked for me

I hope this helps,
