Cannot install Rails version 1.2.5

rubyonrails-talk
1

I don't know if I can help but:

gem list -v 1.2.5 --remote rails

*** REMOTE GEMS ***

rails (2.3.2)

$ gem list --remote rails

*** REMOTE GEMS ***

rails (2.3.2)

Which makes it look to me as if the gem command is only seeing version 2.3.2 of rails on rubyforge or github.

I just updated to the latest version of gem and get the same thing.

Rubyforge problem?

rails (2.3.2)

$ gem list --remote rails

*** REMOTE GEMS ***

rails (2.3.2)

$gem list -r -a rails

Version 1.2.5 should be available on rubyforge…

Thanks, I figured there might be an option like -a, but somehow failed to see it in the help.

Still doesn't help with the OPs problem though.

Hm. On my win box it’s like ok.

I updated gems just in case (gem update --system).

After trying to install Rails v1.2.5, I got a different error message, but no more success:

C:\testror>gem install rails -v 1.2.5 --include-dependencies INFO: `gem install -y` is now default and will be removed INFO: use --ignore-dependencies to install only the gems you list Successfully installed rails-2.3.2 ERROR: could not find gem ûv locally or in a repository ERROR: could not find gem 1.2.5 locally or in a repository 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for rails-2.3.2... Installing RDoc documentation for rails-2.3.2...

The only working solution I found was to copy the whole c:\ruby directory from another machine with rails v1.2.5, but that's pretty lame...

So you don't really need to specify --include-dependencies

Successfully installed rails-2.3.2 ERROR: could not find gem ûv locally or in a repository ERROR: could not find gem 1.2.5 locally or in a repository

Notice that gem is not parsing -v correctly.

Is that really a - ?

It's trying to install gems NAMED rails, ûv, and 1.2.5
