Hello,
I have a problem installing Globalize plugin on my Windows machine. I
first posted this msg to comp.lang.ruby but got no answer, so I hope
to get help here 
I must admit I am a complete noob in Rails. I need to develop an
application with support for several languages so I decided to install
Globalize just after installing Rails. I created a project named
"first" and typed the following:
D:\railsspace\first>ruby script/plugin install
http://svn.globalize-rails.org/svn/globalize/branches/for-1.2
After some operation the script complained about some "Exec format error". Whole output follows: D:\railsspace\first>ruby script/plugin install http://svn.globalize-rails.org/svn/globalize/branches/for-1.2 + ./for-1.2/LICENSE + ./for-1.2/README + ./for-1.2/data/country_data.csv + ./for-1.2/data/language_data.csv + ./for-1.2/data/translation_data.csv + ./for-1.2/generators/globalize/USAGE + ./for-1.2/generators/globalize/globalize_generator.rb + ./for-1.2/generators/globalize/templates/migration.rb.gz + ./for-1.2/generators/globalize/templates/model_migration.rb + ./for-1.2/generators/globalize/templates/tiny_migration.rb.gz + ./for-1.2/init.rb + ./for-1.2/install.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/localization/core_ext.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/localization/core_ext_hooks.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/localization/db_translate.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/localization/db_view_translator.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/localization/locale.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/localization/rfc_3066.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/models/country.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/models/currency.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/models/language.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/models/model_translation.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/models/translation.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/models/view_translation.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/rails/action_mailer.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/rails/action_view.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/rails/active_record.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/rails/active_record_helper.rb + ./for-1.2/lib/globalize/rails/date_helper.rb + ./for-1.2/populators/pop_dates.rb + ./for-1.2/populators/pop_migration.rb + ./for-1.2/populators/pop_pluralization.rb + ./for-1.2/populators/pop_seps.rb + ./for-1.2/tasks/data.rake + ./for-1.2/test/action_mailer_test/globalize_mailer/test.en- US.plain.text.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/action_mailer_test/globalize_mailer/ test.en.plain.text.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/action_mailer_test/globalize_mailer/ test.he.plain.text.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/action_mailer_test/globalize_mailer/ test.plain.text.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/action_mailer_test.rb + ./for-1.2/test/config/database.yml.default + ./for-1.2/test/config/database.yml.example + ./for-1.2/test/core_ext_test.rb + ./for-1.2/test/currency_test.rb + ./for-1.2/test/date_helper_test.rb + ./for-1.2/test/db/schema.rb + ./for-1.2/test/db_localizes_translates_test.rb + ./for-1.2/test/db_translation_test.rb + ./for-1.2/test/fixtures/globalize_categories.yml + ./for-1.2/test/fixtures/globalize_categories_products.yml + ./for-1.2/test/fixtures/globalize_countries.yml + ./for-1.2/test/fixtures/globalize_languages.yml + ./for-1.2/test/fixtures/globalize_manufacturers.yml + ./for-1.2/test/fixtures/globalize_products.yml + ./for-1.2/test/fixtures/globalize_simples.yml + ./for-1.2/test/fixtures/globalize_translations.yml + ./for-1.2/test/fixtures/globalize_unlocalized_classes.yml + ./for-1.2/test/locale_test.rb + ./for-1.2/test/mime_responds_test.rb + ./for-1.2/test/model_test.rb + ./for-1.2/test/render_test.rb + ./for-1.2/test/standard_data_test_helper.rb + ./for-1.2/test/test_helper.rb + ./for-1.2/test/test_standard_data.rb + ./for-1.2/test/validation_test.rb + ./for-1.2/test/view_picking_test.rb + ./for-1.2/test/view_translation_namespace_test.rb + ./for-1.2/test/view_translation_test.rb + ./for-1.2/test/views/layouts/standard.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/views/render/test.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/all_types_with_layout.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/all_types_with_layout.rjs + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/using_defaults.en.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/using_defaults.en.rjs + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/using_defaults.en.rxml + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/using_defaults.fr.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/using_defaults.fr.rjs + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/using_defaults.fr.rxml + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/using_defaults.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/using_defaults.rjs + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/using_defaults.rxml + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/ using_defaults_with_type_list.en.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/using_defaults_with_type_list.en.rjs + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/ using_defaults_with_type_list.en.rxml + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/ using_defaults_with_type_list.fr.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/using_defaults_with_type_list.fr.rjs + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/ using_defaults_with_type_list.fr.rxml + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/using_defaults_with_type_list.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/using_defaults_with_type_list.rjs + ./for-1.2/test/views/respond_to/using_defaults_with_type_list.rxml + ./for-1.2/test/views/test.he-IL.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/views/test.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/views/test2.he.rhtml + ./for-1.2/test/views/test2.rhtml Exec format error - rake -f D:/railsspace/first/vendor/plugins/ for-1.2/../../../Rakefile globalize:upgrade_schema_to_1_dot_2 && exit 1
Looks like there is an error in my vendor/plugins/for-1.2/tasks/ data.rake file but I have little idea how to read it. The file can be found here: http://svn.globalize-rails.org/svn/globalize/branches/for-1.2/tasks/d…
I am running Win XP SP2 with Ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i386-mswin32] and Rails 1.2.3
I read the replies to similar problems, and the solution was to use rake.cmd or rake.bat instead of plain rake command, but in the upgrate_schema_to_1_dot_2 task I can't even see when the rake is invoked...
Can anyone help? I have no idea how to bite this problem...
All the best, Maciek
